There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people living with HIV/AIDS in the metropolitan Atlanta area who do not know their status. Many more will become HIV infected after putting themselves at risk, often because they do not have access to critical information that can prevent HIV or another sexually transmitted infection. For HIV-positive individuals, this lack of information could have serious health implications for themselves and their partners.
AID Atlanta's Education staff believe that all people, regardless of HIV status, should learn how to safeguard their health and lives, including those of their loved ones. As the leading HIV prevention organization in Atlanta, we are committed to making a lasting impact on the health of our citizens, which can be achieved through awareness, education and behavior change, as well as early diagnosis, access to treatment and ongoing prevention services.
Our largest community education program, the AIDS 101 Awareness and Action Seminar, has provided valuable information to thousands since 1985 and is offered 7 times a year. We provide businesses, congregations, sororities and civic groups with written information or a speaker to talk about HIV prevention, risk reduction, care and community-based services.
Additionally, we have developed programs targeting specific at-risk populations including youth, gay and bisexual men, women, African Americans, Hispanics and others that encourage HIV testing and behavior change. The toll-free Georgia AIDS & STD Infoline (800-551-2728), a collaboration of AID Atlanta and the Georgia Department of Human Resources, offers HIV and STD prevention education to thousands every year.
