HIV Counseling, Testing, and Prevention:

  • Conducted HIV tests for 94 individuals, emphasizing the importance of early detection for timely treatment and reduced transmission rates.
  • Supported 199 individuals in achieving viral suppression or accessing PrEP/PEP, directly preventing HIV transmission and reducing lifetime healthcare expenses.

IMPACT:

  • Leveraging funding from the SMART Ride and Our Fund Foundation, our program potentially saved an estimated $75,553,932 in lifetime healthcare costs, based on CDC’s projection of $379,668 per lifetime HIV treatment (2010 dollars). This underscores the significant cost-effectiveness of our HIV prevention efforts.
  • Preventing HIV transmission, our program contributes to avoiding a lifetime of stigma, stress, and relationship challenges, promoting overall well-being and community resilience.
