HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs & Outreach Services

HopeHealth also offers care and supportive services for people living with HIV/AIDS in Florence, Darlington, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Marion, Dillon, Orangeburg, Bamberg, Calhoun, Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale counties. The organization is also an HIV prevention and testing provider.

Below are the topics that correspond with our HIV/AIDS Program:

Many Men, Many Voices (3MV)

Many Men, Many Voices (3MV) is a 7-session, group-level intervention program to prevent HIV and sexually transmitted diseases among black men who have sex with men (MSM) who may or may not identify themselves as gay. The intervention addresses factors that influence the behavior of black MSM: cultural, social, and religious norms; interactions between HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases; sexual relationship dynamics; and the social influences that racism and homophobia have on HIV risk behaviors.

VOICES/VOCES

Video Opportunities for Innovative Condom Education & Safer Sex: A group-level, single-session video-based intervention designed to increase condom use among heterosexual African American and Latino men and women who visit STD clinics.

Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS (SISTA)

SISTA: Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS is a group-level, gender- and culturally- relevant intervention. It is designed to increase condom use with African American women. Five peer-led group sessions are conducted that focus on ethnic and gender pride, HIV knowledge, and skills training around sexual risk reduction behaviors and decision making. The intervention is based on Social Learning theory as well as the theory of Gender and Power.

Comprehensive Risk Counseling Services (CRCS)

Comprehensive Risk Counseling Services (CRCS) provides intensive, individualized, client-centered risk reduction counseling and support. The Comprehensive Risk Counselors help individuals at high risk for HIV infection or transmission to understand high risk behaviors and how to reduce them.

Back to the top.

Partnership for Health (PfH)

Partnership for Health (PfH) uses message framing, repetition, and reinforcement during patient visits to increase HIV positive patients' knowledge, skills, and motivations to practice safer sex. The program is designed to improve patient-provider communication about safer sex, disclosure of HIV serostatus, and HIV prevention. Implementation of PfH includes development of clinic and staff "buy-in" and training.
