AIDS
AWARENESS
Through a partnership with the BATON ROUGE AIDS
SOCIETY(BRASS) Testing and Training Center we are able to provide on site Rapid HIV/AIDS Testing and Counseling. Through this
partnership, we have also engaged in Street Outreach; this is where specially trained outreach workers meet with individuals
engaging in high risk behaviors to teach them how to avoid contracting the virus. This activity takes place in the community
where individuals gather. Also, staff is able to reach individuals in the community that will reach other members of the community
once the team is gone. This domino level of peer education will help us in our continous fight against HIV.
