The African American Outreach Initiative is a program of the African American Initiative Task Force of the Metropolitan Atlanta HIV Services Planning Council. The Task Force started as an ad hoc committee given the responsibility of developing an outreach strategy to encourage people of color to seek treatment for HIV and to maintain treatment. A diverse group of volunteers comprised of service providers, consumers, and community representatives developed its goal:


Encourage African Americans, who are HIV+, to access holistic treatment services in order to increase utilization of health care and promote medical adherence by providing information on available services, programs, and other resources.


Thank you for helping us remove HIV/AIDS from the African American community.
