Positive Health Check (PHC) is a product of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a branch of the Department of Health and Human Services. PHC was developed for people living with HIV (PLWH) to supplement their HIV primary care provider visits. It aims to improve health outcomes of PLWH, by promoting treatment initiation, medication adherence, retention in care, sexual risk reduction, and reducing injection drug use behavior. The intervention also provides information about the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. An interactive tool, PHC provides patients tailored information based on their responses to questions and topic selections. It was developed for patients that would like to receive additional information and strategies to support their medical care and treatment, regardless of length of time since diagnosis.
