There is still no cure for HIV or AIDS, but we now know that we can prevent further spread of this disease through effective prevention efforts. Our goals are to prevent new HIV infections and to keep clients healthy and safe. Our staff teaches people about safer sex and risk reduction. If you have been diagnosed with HIV in the last year or you are having trouble practicing safer behaviors, then we will meet with you one-on-one. We can also talk to you if you would like to learn more about:

• Disclosure
• Safer sex practices
• Safer injection strategies
• HIV in general
• Avoiding other STDs or pregnancy
