The Public Health Field Services Representative 1 (PHFSR 1) will be in the NYS Department of Health's Bureau of HIV/ STD Field Services (BHSFS) within the Division of Epidemiology, Evaluation and Partner Services (DEEP) and will serve in a Local/County Department of Health office (LHD). The incumbent will provide direct disease and public health intervention services that identify persons at risk for, and living with, HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and link them to testing, prevention, treatment, and support services. The responsibilities of the PHFSR 1 positions have grown and become more complex with the expansion of activities related to the New York State Ending the Epidemic (ETE) initiative, which aims to end AIDS as an epidemic in New York State. The PHFSR 1 positions must incorporate ETE priorities into their outreach, education, and intervention services. These priorities include education on, and linkage to, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services, in accordance with NYS PrEP guidelines, so HIV-negative persons who engage in high-risk behaviors can remain negative; education on, and linkage to, rapid initiation of HIV treatment, in accordance with NYS clinical guidelines and NYS policy, which identifies every new HIV diagnosis as an immediate call to action for every provider who engages that individual, with the goal being same-day initiation of HIV treatment; and education on the importance of viral suppression and “Undetectable = Untransmittable” (U=U), which incorporates the message that individuals with a sustained undetectable viral load will not sexually transmit HIV. In addition to required field work, staff will be expected to work in the office on a regular basis.
