FXB Clinical Practice

FXB Center’s clinical program has been a leader in HIV care since the mid-1980s when it was based at the Children’s Hospital of New Jersey and cared for 50 children who were infected with a virus not yet identified as HIV. In almost 40 years since much has changed. The FXB Center’s population of HIV-positive patients increased, mirroring the HIV epidemic in the United States, and then fell as combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) medications were routinely used to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Today, the FXB Center’s clinical program meets the healthcare and social service needs of approximately 150 families with HIV through the provision of interprofessional, comprehensive HIV services that address care across the HIV care continuum. 

Clinical Practice Approach

We deliver client and family-centered care by valuing our relationship with the community, working to eliminate health disparities by promoting self-care and shared decision-making, and supporting clients and families navigating complex social and healthcare contexts. We are advanced practice nurses, nurses, social workers, registered dieticians, and case managers who provide evidence-based practice health care, coordinated medical case management services, community outreach, and education for our clients and families. Continuous quality improvement is emphasized in all that we do.
