The TLCA philosophy is that communities know best what their needs are and what activities can best address them. That is why TLCA sees community-focused, public-private sector partnering as absolutely essential. TLCA also recognizes that fear, stigma, and distrust have prevented many minority individuals from receiving HIV counseling and testing in order to learn their HIV status and--for those with HIV--getting into care. TLCA is designed to increase the participation of minority leaders in educating and enhancing their communities' HIV/AIDS efforts. TLCA activities are conducted under the direction of the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy (OHAP) with assistance from Federal agencies. TLCA activities include: Minority Reviewer Project HIV/AIDS & Minorities: A Guide to Federal Programs Surgeon General's Satellite Conference Getting the Word Out Other Initiatives: RARE Project Health Disparities Initiative TOP OF PAGE
