Hurricane Helene: Public Health Department Closures

Our public health departments' hours of operation may be affected by power and staffing outages. This means that some closures may not appear on the state government office delays and closings map. The health and safety of our employees and our clients remains our highest priority. We are working to get services restored as safely and quickly as possible.

The goal of the TRICE Program is to ensure a seamless and rapid transition to HIV medical services for persons that are HIV positive. People living with HIV/AIDS who have not received services from an HIV medical provider in 9 months or more are deemed not in care by TRICE definition. The TRICE program's mission is to get persons back into care by:

Reaching out to not in care clients
Assisting with gaining HIV medical services
Referrals to behavioral and community resources
Medication adherence activities/interventions
Short-term support for health care visits

The DTC program uses the Antiretroviral Treatment and Access to Services (ARTAS) Intervention. ARTAS is an individual-level, multi-session, time-limited intervention with the goal of linking recently diagnosed persons with HIV to HIV medical care soon after receiving a positive test result. DHEC also uses the ARTAS intervention for re-engagement services. To learn more about ARTAS, refer to the following link www.effectiveinterventions.org

For linkage and re-engagement services or for persons living with HIV/AIDS moving out of state, please call the:
STD/HIV Hotline: 1-803-898-9275 or 1-800-322-AIDS (2437)
