Services Offered:

·         Community Outreach brings essential information directly to people who are at risk for HIV. In particular, the program provides informational materials about safer sex and HIV prevention to health fairs, clubs, bathhouses (www.thewatergarden.com) and other places in the community, where people at risk may gather. 

·         The HIV Counseling/Testing program serves as key prevention and early intervention strategy for reducing primary and secondary HIV infections. The testing method is Ora Quick Advance  procedure which is highly effective, quick, easily administered and non-invasive. HIV Counseling/Testing sites and schedules are as follows:

AACI Building at Moorpark
2400 Moorpark Avenue, Suite 216 (Banyan Tree Room)
San Jose, CA 95128
Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (by appointment)
Monday through Thursday, 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (walk in or appointment)

·         Education Sessions are aimed at providing information about safer sex and HIV, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their sexual behaviors by examining the contexts in which risk may take place, and empowering people to take care of their health and well being. The HIV AIDS Program also collaborates with AACI’s Alcohol and Other Drug Program.

·         Individual/Online Counseling is a personalized HIV prevention program that empowers the target audience to remain safe and HIV-negative.  AACI’s health educator shares information, resources, testing sites and articles of interest with participants in gay and bisexual men’s chat rooms. Online counseling allows the educator to answer questions that some men might feel reluctant to discuss in a face-to-face or group counseling session.

·         Support/Discussion Groups are API MSM (www.apifpa.net) -based and are aimed at creating and building stronger and healthier relationships, and ensuring that safer sexual relationships become the mutually accepted norm. Understanding isolation, building positive and healthy relationships, self-empowerment, HIV/AIDS and other health and social issues are core discussion topics of the group. 

·         Information and Advocacy provides the community the awareness and voice to raise issues related to HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination through direct advocacy, coalition work and grassroots organizing.
