What is Rapid Start?

The overall goal of the RAPID Start (Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Start) system is to have locations where persons newly diagnosed with HIV (or out of care) can rapidly access antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have a smooth transition to their medical home. This system allows all clinics, Ryan White (RW) funded and private, the ability to report into one system for streamlined reporting for the City, County and/or State in the efforts of “Getting to Zero”.

The Rapid Start system is secured using a secure website with Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Two-Factor Authentication (Using the Google Authenticator algorithm) when accessing the system.
