NMAC (formerly the National Minority AIDS Council) and a multitude community-based organizations (CBOs) located throughout the United States, partnered to utilize evidence-based best practices to improve methods to reduce the impact of HIV for youth. Through this collaboration, HIV information, resources and tools for youth navigators were identified and compiled in a repository with the intention of engaging youth and providing timely, culturally responsive, accurate and reliable HIV=related information and resources to improve the health outcomes for current and future generations.
Please see the links below for resources that have been developed and disseminated by various federal and community partners.
