How will the results of MMP be used?
The information learned through MMP will help show how care is affecting the health of people living with HIV in communities. The data from the project will be used by HIV prevention community planning groups, Ryan White CARE Act planning councils, providers of HIV care, and others. It can be used to support requests for more money to provide services to people living with HIV/AIDS. The information from MMP will give us a clear picture of HIV/AIDS care in California and around the country. It will provide an opportunity for policy decisions, resource allocation, and evaluation of prevention and treatment initiatives at the local and national levels to be based on the population-based data.
