The Youth HIV Advocacy Coalition

The Youth HIV Advocacy Coalition (YHAC) is a group of youth providers that works to find new ways of preventing HIV infections among youth.  YHAC organizes youth specific events including Urban Fusion where the fun spirit of youth is fused with HIV prevention and testing. YHAC has produced a youth directed film, “Exploring: Youth and HIV.” YHAC is constantly looking for new ideas on how to reach youth and for developing creative strategies for HIV prevention and testing.
