Community education through talks has been very busy this past year. We have done about 100 talks, reaching about 3500 people. It is in these talks that stereotypes and myths are broken down and true human understanding and compassion takes place, as well as factual information being exchanged regarding HIV/AIDS.

For a list of some of the place we have spoken, see the right inset.

Staff are available to answer your questions regarding HIV/AIDS, community resources, advocate on your behalf, and make referrals to other community agencies if necessary. Our phone line is open Monday to Friday 9 - 5 p.m. Call 973-0222 and one of our staff will be happy to answer your questions or provide you with the necessary information to protect yourself from HIV infection.

We offer hundreds of books and periodicals regarding gay and lesbian issues, drug use and HIV/AIDS. Additionally, dozens of videos complement our HIV/AIDS information library. The library is open to the public, Monday-Friday 9 - 5 p.m. Books and videos may be signed out with a valid library card.
