This program aims to reduce transmission of HIV among men who have sex with men of color (MSMoC), including those who identify as transgender or gender nonconforming (TGNC). RISE uses a health promotion and community-building approach to provide culturally competent and inclusive prevention and support services, including targeted social media campaigns addressing relevant health topics and preventive strategies for MSMoC; peer-led support groups for specific LGBTQIA+ populations; and public events to foster social connection and reduce isolation. The program also offers client navigation to LGBTQIA+-friendly resources, including HIV prevention and legal services addressing domestic violence, housing and workplace discrimination, and tenancy issues.
Eligibility criteria: Men who have sex with men, ages 18 and older, including those who identify as transgender or gender nonconforming
