HIV Prevention Project This is a prevention program in Monroe County serving persons experiencing homelessness and residing in the shelter or visiting the Community Center who also have a history or current substance abuse. Prevention services are provided in a group educational format or through individual preventive case management or outreach. On-site testing and safe sex kits are provided. Data are collected to measure the risk status (includes behavioral information and demographics) at the first educational session and then again after the person has participated in several prevention education sessions and has left the shelter. The impact of the prevention education is then measured. Through this funded project 2 persons have tested positive for HIV and were connected with the state’s care coordination agency for services.
