Harm Reduction Sisters: HIV Support Programs

Harm Reduction Sisters began providing mobile, confidential rapid HIV testing and Non-Medical HIV Case Management in Duluth and surrounding communities in the fall of 2021.

Rapid HIV Testing & Care Navigation

  • Interested in setting up a confidential, mobile, rapid test? Send an email to info@harmreductionsisters.org! 

Our outreach team provides linkage to regional services and programming, including housing, insurance navigation, and health services.

Outreach HIV Case Management

Harm Reduction Sisters' Outreach HIV Case Manager works with people who have received a reactive HIV test. The Outreach Case Manager meets clients in environments that work for them to:

  • Complete an initial, rapid, client-centered assessment of service needs
  • Collaboratively develop an individualized care plan
  • Make timely and coordinated referrals and assistance accessing appropriate health and support services based on client-identified priorities
  • Provide ongoing client support to assess progress towards goals and emerging needs for support, including client-specific advocacy to support service access
  • Deliver client-tailored education regarding HIV care and treatment, risk reduction and other areas to support optimal health outcomes
  • Reassess client needs and regularly update care plan
Know Your Status

With the recent HIV outbreak in the Duluth area, it is important to know your HIV status and help to prevent the spread by using condoms and not sharing injection equipment. Need sterile syringes? Call or text  218-996-6602 for delivery or mail-order!
