Partners in
Faith
(PIF) is an HIV prevention program within Care Resource that reaches
out to the faith based community in the African-American/Black
communities.
Created in 1998, PIF has been working and helping to
implement AIDS ministries in various churches throughout the
African-American community.
The HIV/AIDS virus affects a lot of people in the African-American
community. There may not be a person whithin this community that
doesnt know a family member, friend or neighbor living with HIV. The
place to keep engaging people in the church is through open
dialogue and the provision of accurate information about the disease.
PIF plays its role by working with the churches, their leaders, members
and the general community. Our peer educators conduct street
outreach by providing accurate information, condoms, referrals and
answering whatever questions someone may have. We also provide
confidential HIV counseling and testing to those willing to know their
HIV status. If you test positive, we can refer you to Care
Resource or any agency of your choice.
If
you need further information please contact Alesia Miller at
