Mission: Metro TeenAIDS (MTA) is a community-health organization dedicated to supporting young people in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through education, support, and advocacy, MTA prevents the spread of HIV, promotes responsible decision making, and improves the quality of life for young people infected with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.
Programs: Metro TeenAIDS provides an array of services including services for both HIV positive and negative youth. These services include outreach, peer education, skills building education, HIV test counseling, referrals, a safe drop-in center for youth, and training for area providers. MetroTeenAIDS speaks to youth in their own language and in their own space. With our team of specially trained young people, working alongside professionals, we reach out to them in schools, nightclubs, youth centers, shelters and the streets.
