HIV/AIDS Services

Health Education and Risk Reduction Program



The HE/RR program aims to reach persons at increased risk of becoming infected with HIV or, if already infected, of transmitting the virus to others. The goal of the program is to reduce the risk of these events from occurring. Our activities are directed to persons whose behaviors or personal circumstances place them at risk. The program activities include street and community outreach, risk reduction counseling, ILIs, GLIs, HC/PI and community-level intervention. Funding for the HE/RR Program is not intended to educate the general public, or population with none or low risk for HIV infection.
Our services are culturally sensitive and language specific, in order to meet the needs of our community.

Health Communication/Public Information (HC/PI)
The delivery of planned HIV/AIDS prevention messages through one or more channels to target audiences to build general support for safe behavior, support personal risk reduction efforts, and/or inform persons at risk for infection how to obtain specific services.
AIDS 104 course: This is a four-hour course that provides information on basic immunology, virology, transmission, testing, disease process, prevention measure, infectious control, legal and ethical issues and treatment.
