HIV Assistance

CCSS Office of HIV (1)
Clark County Social Service (CCSS) is dedicated to providing comprehensive HIV assistance to residents through the Office of HIV and Project Home. Our commitment revolves around realizing the vision of a future free from HIV and AIDS, employing best practices in program delivery, treatment, care, and support services. This commitment is bolstered by initiatives such as the Ryan White Part A, Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE), and the Project Home grant-funded programs.

The CCSS Office of HIV receives funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. This program allocates grants to states, cities/counties, and local community-based organizations to deliver care and treatment services to individuals living with HIV. The objective is to enhance health outcomes and reduce HIV transmission, particularly among hard-to-reach populations. To learn more about HRSA, please visit https://hab.hrsa.gov.

Project HOME stands for Health Outcomes and Medical Education, and our purpose is to work with you on understanding the importance of HIV medical adherence and why that matters for you to be healthy and successful. Medical adherence includes starting HIV treatment, keeping all medical appointments, and taking HIV medicines every day and exactly as prescribed (also called medication adherence). For young adults with HIV, treatment adherence is key to staying healthy.
