“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Community Health - Education and PreventionExpenses: $ 2,035,293During the year we established a new department to house our education, prevention and early intervention services: Community Health. A new Director of Community Health joined D.A.P. and serves on the Leadership team. During the year, six days a week, we conducted 4,885 free, rapid HIV tests either on-site at D.A.P., in our mobile testing van, or off-site at a community partner location or special event. Staff offered an average of 19 education presentations to an average of 564 youth and adults each month throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties about HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to the departments restructuring, highlights of the year include recruiting over 90 community partners to participate in our region-wide HIV testing campaign, Get Tested Coachella Valley, and the launch of a formal program to educate the community about the use of medication to prevent HIV: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) . We also offer individualized counseling for community members seeking to access and afford these medications. By the time the year ended, staff were providing an average of 363 referrals a month to medical providers specifically for the evaluation of PrEP and/or PEP. D.A.P.s Chief Executive Officer traveled twice to The White House last year having been invited to talk about our Community Health Department at the Fast-Track Cities Initiative and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy Technical Consultation hosted by the Office of National AIDS Policy and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care.
