Who is eligible for HSPAMM?

How does someone start getting HSPAMM services?

All Hawaii residents living with HIV, are strongly encourage to take advantage of these free services to monitor and help manage their health. HSPAMM participants access services through private physicians, and any physician can join the program. Participants fill out a questionnaire at each HSPAMM visit (once every six months).

The program collects general information about participants (for example, age, gender, ethnicity, etc.), health related behaviors, symptoms, and medications. The participant's doctor reports health information to HSPAMM, and HSPAMM receives copies of the results of the laboratory tests (including, for example, T-cell count and viral load).

All HSPAMM services are conducted using a code number instead of the participant's name. The HSPAMM program and the laboratory that process lab tests DO NOT receive any identifying information (like name, address, social security number etc). Only the participant's doctor's office will know who the person is and only the doctor's office can connect the HSPAMM code number to the individual participant.
