Short Term Intervention is a program designed to address the HIV prevention needs of three populations: Black/African American, MSM (men who have sex with men) and Hispanic. This program is funded by United Way of Miami. The Dade Community Foundation also supports the MSM component of STI.

Short Term Intervention is a mobile-based outreach intervention model that focuses on outreach and HIV counseling and testing to ensure that these three target populations are educated about HIV/AIDS and become aware of their HIV diagnosis. STI strives, through the provision of HIV Counseling and Testing and outreach, to reduce the rate of new HIV infections and/or transmission of HIV among Black/African American, Hispanic and minority men of color who have sex with men in the Miami-Dade areas. The other goal of this STI program is to promote early intervention and facilitate access to HIV care and treatment among these three populations.

This STI program distributes educational materials and information about HIV, substance abuse and syphilis.  Additionally, linkages are made to appropriate agencies for services as needed, especially those that test positive for the HIV virus or are high-risk negatives.
