  2. RWG In 2011,The Baltimore City Health Department initiated a collaboration with The Maryland State Division of corrections, Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to promote the continuation of care for HIV-infected individuals that are re-entering into the Baltimore EMA.

  10. RWG The Ryan White Grantee team is aware of the barriers surrounding the person’s released from incarceration and re-entering back into the community. There is a shared fellowship in the attitudes, interests, and goals for positive results.Major changes in one’s lifestyle can be challenging and we find this more prevalent with persons who are HIV/AIDS infected and released from incarceration. Many persons who are transitioning back into the community are dually- diagnosed and homeless. While housed in a correctional facility, some inmates receive medical health care and are administered HIV/AIDS medications. Once released many PLWHA are faced with stigma and social issues from housing to medical nutrition.
