RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #28-388 (State #18-10576) with the California Department of Public Health, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $76,776 for the County’s Public Health HIV Prevention Services Project, for the period from November 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $76,776 of funding from the California Department of Public Health. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

This State augmentation will allow the County to provide additional HIV prevention activities for Contra Costa County residents. The Public Health Division will provide prevention, risk reduction and Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) training to health care providers and residents. The overall goal of these activities is to increase sexual health and PrEP screening in primary healthcare settings, increase PrEP prescriptions and PrPE awareness.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Standard Agreement #28-388 will allow the County to continue to receive one time augmentation funds to support the HIV Prevention Services Project through June 30, 2019. This agreement includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV prevention services that will reduce hospitalization and support to HIV positive individuals to live at home or allow for compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease.
