E A L T H E D U C A T I O N,
a d v o c a c y & In the early days of
SisterLove, our mission focused on providing prevention education and outreach to women of color in metropolitan Atlanta. What we learned from women
infected with HIV and those struggling to make life-affirming choices
prompted us, in later years, to expand our mission. Although our current mission
addresses a broader range of needs and concerns, we remain strong in our
belief that prevention education and outreach are vitally important in
the fight against HIV/AIDS. Following are brief
descriptions of our prevention education and outreach efforts. For
more information please contact Lisa Diane White, SisterLove's Director
of Programs at 404-505-7777 or by E-mail

H E A L T H Y L O V E P R O G R A M SisterLove's Healthy Love Party Workshop is an empowering gathering that opens the door to a world of choices and positive decision making. Participants learn the basics of HIV/AIDS prevention and transmission, safer sex practices, reproductive health and human sexuality while affirming their right to take control of their sexual lives and sexual health. Specially trained volunteers serve as Healthy Love Party Facilitators. Although originally designed with the needs of women in mind, Healthy Love Parties can be modified to meet the needs of any audience regardless of gender, age or sexual orientation. College students, mothers, young adults, gay men, single women, lesbians, couples--the message is the same. Safer sex can be satisfying, sensual and fun! If you'd like to attend a Healthy Love Party workshop or be trained as a Healthy Love Facilitator, contact Lisa Diane White, Director of Programs, by phone at 404-505-7777 or by E-mail. |

The campaign includes life-altering workshops on HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention, HIV testing and counseling, a media campaign and targeted outreach to those most at risk. The primary goal of the Project is to increase women's awareness and provide them the information, skills, and resources needed to assess their personal risk and examine beliefs and behaviors that place them at greater risk for contracting HIV.
