Health Education Risk
Reduction Program
This 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,
individual and group level interventions, health
communication/public information seminars and community level
intervention.
The following are the services offered:
AIDS 101: This is a one-hour class that provides
basic information on HIV/AIDS. This is an informative
session about HIV transmission and prevention and also seeks to
reduce discrimination towards persons with HIV/AIDS.
AIDS 104: This is a four-hour class that provides
information on basic immunology, virology, transmission, testing,
disease process, prevention measure, infectious control, legal and
ethical issues, and treatment. This class is designed for
audiences that require instruction in HIV/AIDS to comply with
Florida Statutes. |
