Community Education Group, Inc. (CEG) will provide Substance Intervention Prevention Services (SIPS) and HIV/CTR program enhancements to 1,500 African American women ages 14-84 who congregate or reside in Wards 7 and 9 of Washington, DC. CEG will provide site-specific and mobile outreach, rapid HIV counseling and testing, assistance in obtaining confirmatory testing if positive, referrals to HIV/AIDS support services, educational and resource materials, and appropriate referrals to substance abuse treatment, primary medical and mental health care, case management, housing, transportation, emergency assistance, and other services, as identified. Through outreach, SIPS will draw upon existing social, sexual, substance abuse, and familial networks within these Wards to provide HIV/CTR services. In 2012 CEG will expand the capacity of the current program, PROTECC, to include additional rapid HIV testing and counseling and referrals to care. In order to expand the program, CEG is requesting funding to purchase testing supplies, referral forms, incentives in the form of gift cards and evaluation support. With these funds, CEG will be able to provide rapid HIV testing and counseling and referrals to care for an additional 1,000 individuals.
