10. African American HIV University Developed in 1999 as a structural intervention to change cultural norms and perceptions in the Black community around access to and utilization of HIV prevention services and strengthen Black organization and individual capacity to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in their communities Chief objective of STC is to develop a cadre of leaders who serve as liaisons between people living with HIV/AIDS, and the entities that serve them. Fellows obtain the knowledge and skills to mobilize key influential people, constituents and traditional Black institutions to end the AIDS epidemic in their communities • NAME • ORGANIZATION • CITY, STATE • TITLE/WHAT DO YOU DO?

11. African American HIV UniversityScience and Treatment College(AAHU STC) Focusing on focuses on HIV and its relationship to human biology, virology, pharmacokinetics, epidemiology, and treatment strategies.

12. Program Objectives • Increased basic knowledge on HIV/AIDs pathology and physiology in the Black community • Increased understanding of critical treatment as prevention strategies and interventions • Participation in a national network of ASO’s, CBO’s, and traditional Black institutions who are committed to HIV prevention mobilization and ready to collaborate on innovative prevention efforts • Participation and management of a local coalition of local ASO’s, CBO’s and TBI’s who are committed to the programmatic goals of AAHU STC • Increased numbers of people in their community and organization who have access to the latest HIV prevention and science information that can easily be applied to the work they do and in mobilizing Black communities

13. Faculty & Staff Roles UCLA Curriculum Staff UCLA Lecturers/Presenters Finalize slide sets, drafted by Curriculum Staff Deliver content based on Curriculum Staff outlines, topics, and suggestions Facilitate group activities that reinforce topical information • Review and provide recommendations on learning objectives, content, and structure of the trainings related to your area of expertise • Draft slide sets that will serve as the curriculum for your area of expertise • Provide guidance on experiential learning activities to support retention of information among Fellows • Deliver content related to your area of expertise as time permits

14. Programmatic Outcomes • Increase local Black community who have an accurate and comprehensive understanding of HIV science and treatment issues, including new biomedical prevention tools • Increase self-efficacy on HIV treatment issues • Increase the percentage of at-risk Black people who know their HIV serostatus • Reduce unmet need for HIV primary care in the local communities • Improve HIV-related health outcomes in which HIV treatment literacy initiatives are implemented.

15. Curriculum Overview • Four Trainings • Training 1: Science Academy (30 Days) • Training 2: Community Mobilization (7 Days) • Training 3: Advanced Science Skills (7 Days) • Training 4: HIV Interventions (7 days) • Internships: Fellows complete specific assignments between trainings (60-90 days)
