STRIDE’s Infectious Disease Program offers a variety of services to better meet the needs of the populations served by STRIDE. In part funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, the clinic emphasizes high quality HIV care and resources. There is a continued need in our community for affordable and accessible HIV/AIDS care options, and STRIDE will help meet this need. In the state of Colorado, there were 428 new HIV diagnoses in 2022 and a total of 14,903 individuals living with HIV the same year. Denver county alone accounted for 115 of those new cases.
As seen with many health concerns, impacts of HIV/AIDS and treatment usage are not distributed equally among different groups of people. While rates of new diagnoses were highest in patient of color , such as Black, Native American, and Hispanic Coloradans, 79% of prep users were White in 2022 (CDPHE HIV dashboard).
Thus, there is likely a disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS in communities of color, something that increased access to high quality and affordable care can help combat.
In addition to HIV/AIDS, STRIDE’s new Infectious Disease Program offers services for diseases such as measles, mumps, whooping cough, and other types of infections. Some of these diseases are even more prevalent as HIV, and are important to provide for the betterment of our community's health.

Bone and joint infections
HIV treatment
Home I.V. antibiotic management

This is great news for Colorado! STRIDE's Infectious Disease Program is a much-needed resource. Providing affordable HIV/AIDS care and addressing other infectious diseases like measles and whooping cough will significantly improve community health. Navigating healthcare challenges can sometimes feel like an uphill battle, but STRIDE is offering a helping hand. Reminds me of needing to master those tricky slopes in Snow Rider 3D to reach the finish line – it's about overcoming obstacles and moving forward!

This is great news for Colorado! STRIDE's new program addresses a critical need for accessible HIV/AIDS care, especially in underserved communities. It's important to note the disproportionate impact on people of color. Beyond HIV, they're tackling measles and other infections. Hopefully, this program runs smoother than my last Snow Rider attempt - wiping out is no fun! Affordable, comprehensive care is key to a healthier Colorado.
