Program Type: Evidence Based Practice - Programs formally evaluated to be effective, sometimes called "Best Practices", that can be replicated and implemented, even with modifications in other settings

Description:
Partnership for Health (PfH) is a brief, provider-delivered, counseling program for individual men and women living with HIV/AIDS.
