In in the HASA quarterly performance report for July through September of twenty four, there are forty four cases, listed as ineligible due to not meeting medical criteria.

Can you share if these applications were from individuals who did not have an HIV diagnosis, or were there different medical criteria that they did not meet?
Jacqueline Dudley

Yes.

These are individuals who, the only medical criteria you need to to meet to become a HASA client is to be HIV positive, but these are people who unfortunately were not able to submit, sufficient documentation to establish the fact that they were, diagnosed with HIV.

We offer assistance when where necessary and and with with the proper authorization from the client.

We will help them in contacting their doctor and getting getting the lab reports if necessary, but unfortunately for those individuals they weren't able to do so, But they're always welcome to come back at a later time and, submit the proper documentation, and we will definitely reconsider it reconsider those applications.
