HIV/AIDS Testing in Oakland

Education / Prevention

While the search for a vaccine to HIV intensifies, the best defense tools currently available to combat the virus is to educate individuals about high risk behaviors and to encourage them to adopt safer behaviors, so that we can together prevent new infections.

APEB's Education Prevention Department provides support groups for recovering substance users, transgendered individuals, gay and bisexual men and HIV positive persons. APEB provides prevention services that reach an additional 20,000 persons each year.

I hope to see that high schools and colleges will some day force students to take a week long learning session just about HIV/AIDS, there should be a prerequsite course that covers general medical conditions in the human body to all human beings...
