Description
- The purpose of this program is to establish a gender-specific, peer led HIV
prevention education project for women intimate partners of
incarcerated/recently released males. The project shall develop a coalition of
support/transition services for women partners and their families through
coordinating local/state departments of health, healthcare providers, AIDS
service organizations, social services, community organizations, correctional
facilities and criminal justice offices. OWH hopes to fulfill this purpose by
providing funding to targeted community-based organizations to enhance their
prevention and support activities to incarcerated and newly released women
living with or at high risk for HIV infection. Women’s health issues are defined
in the context of women’s lives, including their multiple social roles and the
importance of relationships with other people to their lives. This definition of
women’s health encompasses mental, dental, and physical health and spans the
life course.
