HIV Care

The Health Department partners with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to meet HIV needs in Vermont. CDC and HRSA provide funds that support medical care and treatment along with prevention programs for people living with HIV. They also offer information that can help people with HIV learn more about the virus and what HIV means for them and their families. 

The Health Department combines federal and Vermont resources to work with local, community-based partner organizations. Together we work to make sure that people with HIV in our state have access to care. 

For HIV patients, we support 

• medical case management,
• mental health,  
• out-patient ambulatory health services and
• dental care. 

These services are delivered in both community-based and clinical settings. Helping all people with HIV in our state stay engaged in medical care benefits them, their families and all Vermonters.

Vermont Medication Assistance Program (VMAP)

Vermont Medication Assistance Program (VMAP) provides financial help for purchasing medications to Vermonters living with HIV who meet income guidelines. If you are eligible, this program may help pay for your medications, insurance premiums, co-pays and/or deductibles.

Vermonters with HIV can contact a local AIDS Service Organization (ASO) to meet with a case manager who can help with filling out the VMAP application and provide ongoing support. This application can be used to apply for other benefits, such as dental health services, that help people manage HIV infection.
