North Carolina AIDS Action Network
Ella/Her North Carolina HIV Project
The North Carolina AIDS Action Network was initially birthed out of the need to end the state’s HIV Medication Assistance Program (formerly known as the AIDS Drug Assistance Program) waitlist – once the longest in the nation. Cisgender women have long been underserved by traditional AIDS service organizations in North Carolina. Black and Latina women are particularly in need of information related to HIV prevention, treatment and care given the disproportionately high rates of HIV transmission among both communities. The Ella/Her North Carolina HIV Project seeks to reduce the prevalence of HIV among Black and Latina women in the state through digital outreach, community education and culturally competent provider training.
