The HAPHEM Project
As the brother intervention to the AISHA Project, the HAPHEM Project (the HIV/AIDS Prevention & Health Education for Men Project) is designed for African American men who may be at risk for HIV infection and are interested in protecting themselves and the women in their lives from HIV/AIDS.
On a local, national and international level, men of African descent represent a very large part of our community infected with the HIV virus, due to a lack of education and information.
As a leader in the family structure, we have the responsibility to address this issue by stopping the spread of the virus and to care about people we love. Please visit our website in April 2007 for more information regarding the HAPHEM Project.
- The HAPHEM Project has to have a minimum number of 8 participants committed to complete all the workshops to start.
- HAPHEM is modeled after a National HIV Prevention Intervention program from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- HAPHEM Project Facilitators are trained professionals experienced in facilitating the sessions.
- HAPHEM is a project that is based on confidential small group workshop for and by men who may be at high risk for HIV infection.
- HAPHEM empowers men to avoid HIV infection, to actively participate in healthy relationships and understand the overall importance of sexual health.
- HAPHEM consists of 7 two-hour group sessions that include fun activities such as role play exercises.
- HAPHEM group sessions are strictly confidential and only for men who are participating in the Project.
- HAPHEM Project participants can be linked to HIV testing and counseling and other care and support services they may need.
- HAPHEM offers an incentive for men who fully complete the project
