DFPM-RED’s HIV Team was among 53 community-based organizations selected by the CDC Foundation to implement and expand HIV self-testing programs. The team will create a social media campaign targeting rural communities and those with substance use disorders. The campaign will be shared through websites, social media, and using print materials to advertise At-Home HIV testing. UAMS will form collaborative partnerships with key agencies to assist with the distribution of At-Home HIV testing (kits), outreach efforts, and information sharing, to provide resources to 500 Arkansans. DFPM-RED Faculty member Latunja Sockwell will serve as PI on the project with HIV team Program Manager Courtney Hampton serving as Co-PI. The 10.5-month grant totals $100,000.
