raising awareness of HIV infection among at-risk racial & ethics minority young adult populations.

and magnitude of risk and protective factors of HIV prevention. Using identified needs to develop a strategic plan along the
continuum of HIV prevention and care, including social marketing, HIV Testing, HIV evidence-based intervention for HIV positive
persons, evidence-based intervention for at risk HIV negative persons, evidenced-based intervention for both HIV positive and
at-risk HIV negative persons and environmental intervention to change cultural, policy and societal norms that promote HIV
infection, implementation of CIHPP and monitoring and evaluation of CIHPP outcomes.
