Background: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides Minority AIDS Initiative Targeted Capacity Expansion (MAI-TCE) Integrated Behavioral Health/Primary Care Network cooperative agreements as part of the Congressional Minority AIDS Initiative. The purpose of MAI-TCE is to facilitate the development and expansion of culturally competent and effective integrated behavioral health and primary care networks, which include HIV services and medical treatment, within racial and ethnic minority communities in 11 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) most impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Methods: The presentation will provide an overview of the 11 MAI-TCE programs from 2010 to 2013, including data on the integration of behavioral health services into CDC supported Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plans (ECHPP) for each of the 11 cities.

Results: Several cities are integrating rapid HIV testing and counseling services into existing mental health and substance abuse treatment provider networks and creating integrated behavioral health and primary care network committees (BH/PCNC) to facilitate HIV care, testing and medical treatment within each MSA/MD.

Conclusions: Implications of these best practices will be discussed to inform future implementation.
