Youth Angle Project

The primary goal of the La Sima Foundation's Youth Angle (YA) Project is to increase awareness of HIV primary medical and social support services, available to youth 13 to 24, in the Dallas EMA/HSDA. The secondary goal of the project is to identify out-of-care HIV positive youth through an intensive outreach - case finding effort and to enroll HIV positive youth into care.

La Sima project staff works in close collaboration with the staff of the UT Southwestern CPIU to conduct outreach and case finding activities. During La Sima's collaborative outreach with its YA partners, we will provide information regarding the Parkland Health and Hospital System's "Youth Specialty" HIV clinic at deHaro-Saldivar Health Center.
