Social Network Testing Strategy (SNS)
BATF
provides a new strategy to help individuals know and address their HIV status. We are looking for individuals who have been tested and received yur results in the last 12 months, practice unprotected sex, shares needles with anyone, has multiple partners, and engages in risky sexual behaviors to encourage individuals to his or her circle of influence (social network) to test for HIV. Individuals must be willing to speak to your close friends and family about getting tested, and have a vested interest in keeping their community safe from HIV infetion.
If you fit these characteristics, we would like to speak with you about becoming a recruiter for this new initiative. Please contact Lawrence Norman at 347-505-5151 or Victor Semidey at 347-515-5167 for more information.
