Abstract

 

            An inherent opportunity for delivering the basic health services to rural and semi-rural areas in Florida is explored through this initiative. HIV testing, because of the economic barriers in acquiring such health service, remains to be a challenge for African American living in the rural and semi-rural areas in Miami-Dade. Because HIV is becoming a serious health challenge in Florida, preventing the disease is crucial especially for high risk individuals such as the African American adolescents. A house-to-house HIV testing intended for the African American adolescents whom are excluded on school initiatives and are experiencing economic barriers to testing is the core of this project. African American adolescents living in the rural and semi-rural areas in Miami-Dade will be tested through SFAN.
