Meeting people where they're at to keep them safe
For almost 40 years, the Alliance for Positive Health (formerly the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York) has been a leader in fighting the epidemic of HIV/AIDS serving 15 counties in northeastern New York.
While we remain fully committed to ending the AIDS epidemic, the fact is we have not seen the end of HIV. The same behaviors that contribute to HIV transmission are fueling the surge in sexually transmitted diseases. Compounding the issues facing stigmatized and marginalized individuals are the epidemics of opioid addiction and an overwhelmed mental health system.
Our record of success in working with hard-to-reach marginalized groups has given us the responsibility to educate, test, coordinate care, and employ harm reduction interventions for individuals affected by any of these health risks.
