$350,000 to Local HIV/AIDS Programs
Of over $350,000 in recent grants to local organizations, close to half will help create or expand programs that provide HIV testing to Greater Clevelanders.
Twelve (12) organizations will benefit from grants from the AIDS Funding Collaborative (AFC) to support HIV/AIDS-related services and prevention programming in Greater Cleveland.
Grants to five organizations will help develop or expand programs that provide HIV testing. Through its grant, University Hospitals will become the first hospital in Northeast Ohio to initiate routine rapid HIV testing in its Emergency Room protocol. The only other Ohio hospital conducting such testing is University Hospital of Cincinnati.
