Abstract

Community-based AIDS service organizations (ASOs) are important providers of HIV prevention services in cities throughout the United States. This study examined the types of HIV prevention programs that are being undertaken by ASOs and assessed the kinds of new programs that ASOs feel are needed as the HIV epidemic continues to evolve. Factors that will need attention as new HIV prevention programs are developed by ASOs include high turnover of personnel in the organizations, capacity building that will be needed for ASOs to offer more intensive or specialized programs, and strategies to provide technical assistance as ASOs develop new types of programs.
