A new clinic, called the INOVA Juniper Program, opened in Northern Virginia on Wednesday to meet increasing demand for HIV/AIDS medical services in the area, WUSA9.com reports. The clinic helps to fill a gap after the failing economy forced the Washington, D.C.-based Whitman-Walker Clinic to close a branch that served the area last year. Karen Berube, HIV care specialist and the new medical director for the Juniper program, said there is an immense need for HIV/AIDS services in Northern Virginia. The new clinic will serve about 200 clients (Vance, WUSA9.com, 6/17).

Rural Solutions, an organization in northeast Colorado, held the “Community HIV/AIDS Education and Action Conference” as part of its ongoing effort to address issues related to HIV, the Sterling Journal-Advocate reports. At the conference, the organization presented the results of a recent needs assessment of HIV/AIDS services in the northeastern part of the state - conducted in partnership with the Center for Research Strategies and funded through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment - which found that HIV prevention services in the area are limited; barriers exist for HIV testing including confidentiality and costs; and mental health and substance use services for at-risk people also are limited, according to the Journal-Advocate (Jones, Sterling Journal-Advocate, 6/17).

A Delaware-based organization that has provided HIV prevention, outreach, education and other services for the past 28 years will be closing due to lack of funding, the Bethany Beach Wave reports. The Sussex County AIDS Committee (SCAC) also provided financial assistance, transportation services and assistance with medical appointments to people living with HIV/AIDS from as far as Philadelphia, according to the Wave. SCAC was funded by both private and government funding. “We just ran out of money,” Curt Barrows, president of the SCAC board, said. CAMP Rehoboth, another local organization, said it will step in to assist SCAC clients (Shockley, Bethany Beach Wave, 6/18).
