Description:
Founded in late 2009 by Brown University public health students, PL-AIDS Project is an HIV/AIDS prevention and services advocacy 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that seeks to reduce HIV/AIDS prevalence and incidence around the globe through novel programmatic and educational interventions focused on at-risk populations. We strongly believe in the power of biomedical HIV prevention initiatives and seek to refine ways to move this information into the public’s hands through novel media-based projects, including both advocacy and information-related projects.
We are currently developing promotional education materials that we believe may be increase knowledge of post exposure in the local Providence community. These efforts may in turn increase uptake and ultimately lead to downstream reduction in HIV incidence rates.
In addition, we are currently in the process of developing film and media-based projects surrounding HIV-related topics.
Our staff of officers is entirely volunteer-based Ivy League students (Brown University).
