Prevention & Education

True to its roots in advocacy and activism, the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS serves in an advocacy role to prevent the disease. Our advocacy is embodied in the agency's prevention, education and outreach initiatives. Prevention initiatives include targeted outreach to at-risk populations through street-level communication and partnering with other agencies and service providers.

We offer a variety of programs reaching men, women, youth and HIV infected and affected clients. Prevention and outreach initiatives also include HIV/AIDS counseling and testing in partnership with Maricopa County and the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Child watch is available onsite for all clients utilizing services at the Center.

The Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS has strengthened the impact of its prevention, education and outreach efforts through strategic alliances that reach underserved populations. Existing community partnerships are well established, and we continue exploring how to work through various community partners to provide HIV testing, programs and outreach.
