| The HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Counseling and Testing Site provides services to the public at its main office in Hackensack and multiple off-site locations.
Quarterly surveillance reports are used to detect changing local trends, develop prevention strategies, allocate resources, and evaluate prevention projects in order to control this life-threatening epidemic.
\In refocusing the program’s community outreach efforts, the HIV site continues to accommodate the increase in demand for HIV services. The staff offers a comprehensive education, testing and counseling program to this high-risk population. Additional outreach sites where employees and students have benefited from HIV counseling and testing include the Meadowlands Racetrack and colleges. Collaborating with a local university, the program participated in World AIDS Day activities eliciting heightened student awareness of HIV and safer sex practices.
