The AISHA Project
The AISHA Project means
The AIDS Intervention & Sexual Health Alliance Project
Modeled after The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s SISTA intervention, the AISHA Project (the AIDS Intervention and Sexual Health Alliance Project) is an innovate program developed for African American women in our service area.
On a local, national and international level, women of African descent represent the group that is most negatively impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. HIV infection is 100% preventable and the AISHA Project is designed to help women understand more about HIV/AIDS, their personal risk factors, and ways they can protect themselves from the disease.
Since its inception in spring 2004, over 55 women have successfully completed the AISHA Project. Future AISHA Project series’ are expected to begin in summer 2007.
