I'm a youth prevention specialist with Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry which, despite having "ministry" in it's name is not affiliated with any particular faith.
What that means is that I run a program called "Rap It Up"-a six session intensive intervention (psychoeducational group stuff) for high risk youth, dealing with HIV, STDs, Substance Abuse, Decision Making and Negotiation Skills. Or, the quick and dirty? I talk about sex and drugs with teenagers, but not rock and roll because you can't get AIDS from rock and roll.
I also work with a peer education program, to recruit, train and supervise peer educators.
And I do HIV testing and counseling.
Sometime, probably when I'm melancholy, I'll get around to writing a post about how and why I do this work. I'll add it to the memories, too.
