HIV College

In the spring of 2003, CCA pioneered a consumer educational series called HIV College. Sheila Davis, NP and Sara Dolan, NP from Massachusetts General Hospital, and staff members from CCA hatched the idea to meet the need for consumer education about HIV. This series:

• Targets HIV+ consumers, and individuals who are working in the peer leader, case management, or social service setting
• Provides updated HIV/AIDS information on a myriad of topics in a comfortable, non-threatening environment
Accommodates all education levels

Knowledge equals power, and by giving key members of the community an accurate and up-to-date education, culturally-appropriate sharing of information can take place. Several community agencies have utilized this program as a training workshop for their employees and clients, and found it to be very valuable.

HIV College is moving! Join us in September for the new semester at the Cambridge Public Library Central Square Branch (45 Pearl Street).

Each semester of HIV College is a total of four, two-hour sessions, and those participants who complete all four sessions receive a certificate of achievement. This fall's sessions will take place at the Central Square Library and lunch will be provided. All are welcome to attend, though pre-registration is required. Please contact Jesse at (617) 661-3040 x244 to register.
