Bio: Bryan is the clinical provider at Maui AIDS Foundation and overseas all the programs in its Free Clinic. He has worked at MAF since 2014, starting as a Medical Case Manager while pursuing his Master of Science in Nursing from UH Mānoa. He has since utilized his Family Nurse Practitioner certification to augment the services MAF has in place, from treating STIs in the Testing Department to prescribing HIV meds to clients experiencing gaps in care. Originally from California, Bryan received his Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of California, San Francisco in 2019. In 2024, he was recognized with the Suzanne Richmond-Crum Award from the Hawai‘i State Department of Health Harm Reduction Services Branch, for outstanding contributions to HIV/AIDS services in Hawai‘i.
Maui AIDS Foundation’s Clinical Services Department is Maui County’s only Free Clinic. It encompasses MAF’s PrEP Program, Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Program, and Bridge Program, all of which are offered at no cost to at-risk and underserved communities of Maui County.
- The PrEP Program provides medications, labs, case management, and referrals for individuals seeking Pre-Exposure-Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV. MAF’s on-staff nurse practitioner provides his services for free and currently monitors follow-up labs for dozens of individuals in the community.
- Chlamydia & Gonorrhea Program, MAF partners with the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) to further augment MAF’s PrEP and testing services. The program provides screening and treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhea for free with supplies and medications provided by DOH. Testing, treatment, and monitoring for syphilis is also provided at no cost thanks to a similar agreement with DOH.
- MAF’s Bridge Program provides fast-tracked HIV labs, medications, and verifications to help “bridge” people living with HIV (PLWH) into HIV Specialty Care services. The program recognizes the immediate, unmet healthcare needs of newly diagnosed individuals as well as PLWH who move to Maui County without any health services in place. The Bridge Program also oversees Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) services, as well as the scheduling and administering of shots for patients of Oahu’s Clint Spencer Clinic who qualify for injectable HIV medications.
