As many as one to one and a half million Americans may be infected with HIV - the virus that
causes AIDS. HIV/AIDS affects every segment of the population no matter your gender, race,
ethnic background or age.
The most hopeful fact about HIV infection is that it is preventable by means of
education. Education enables individuals to make the wise decisions that will keep them
healthy.
Staten Island University Hospital's HIV prevention programming is aimed at educating the
public on the following subjects:
The ways in which HIV is transmitted.
How high-risk behavior may be identified and modified.
How a healthy lifestyle can be maintained.
Our HIV programs are divided into two groups- services for the individual patient and family
members and services for the community.
