HIV Prevention

The primary goal of the HIV Prevention Program is to implement a comprehensive HIV prevention program in order to prevent new HIV infections and support viral suppression among persons living with HIV. Our primary objectives are to:

Increase individual knowledge of HIV status
Prevent new infections among HIV-negative persons
Reduce transmission from persons living with HIV
Support sustained viral suppression.

Priority activities include (but are not limited to) HIV testing and education, condom distribution, linkage/referral to HIV care, support achieving viral suppression, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) related activities, and community-level HIV prevention activities.
