As a hybrid of HIV risk-reduction counseling and traditional case management for People Living With HIV (PLWH), CRCS provides intensive, on-going, individualized prevention counseling, support, and service brokerage. Priority for CRCS services should be given to persons at very high risk for acquiring HIV, and persons who are HIV seropositive.
