EMPOWERING

Peer Leadership Program

The E-P-I-C+ Leadership Program trains people with HIV to mentor others, share their story in public settings, and prepare for work in professional settings including employment and advisory groups. The peer-to-peer training model encourages peers to identify, examine, and address the root cause of stigma from their personal experience, building on the idea of ‘each one, teach one’ until stigma becomes non-existent in our community.

Transportation and Linkage-To-Care

Positive Miles provides free transportation assistance to HIV medical care and supportive services to anyone living in Arkansas. Our dedicated team of Community Health Workers and Field Service Specialists work to provide safe, confidential travel to and from appointments to keep people engaged in care.

Peer Discussion Groups

Peer-to-peer discussion groups, like "MpowerU" in Texarkana, provide a safe space to share feelings and build a network with others who know what it's like to deal with the stigma HIV brings. It's also a great environment to cut loose and have a good time in great company!

PREVENTING

PrEP Awareness and Navigation

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a way to take control of your sexual health. It helps people who are HIV negative (not living with HIV) to reduce their worry about getting HIV. PrEP is a powerful tool in helping to end the HIV epidemic. However, not everyone knows about PrEP or how to obtain it. Through our PrEPared for Life Program, we can help you find options for enrolling in PrEP services in Arkansas.
