A Message From Your Friends At The Southeast AETC: Our hearts go out to those in our community who were affected by the hurricanes. If you have patients that are having trouble accessing HIV services during this time, we urge you to utilize HRSA’s Find a Ryan White Provider tool to help navigate them to services nearby.

Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)

Focusing on Access to HIV Care and Reducing Health Disparities for Minority Populations

Under MAI, the Southeast AETC creates and implements specific training geared toward elevating the level of care for priority populations in the Southeast (e.g. African American and Latino MSM, LGBTQIA+, college students).

The MAI program provides funding to improve access to HIV care and health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority populations disproportionately affected by HIV. Under Ryan White Part F, MAI focuses on increasing the training capacity of AETCs and expanding the number of health care professionals with treatment expertise and knowledge about the most appropriate HIV-related treatments and medical care for racial and ethnic minority adults, adolescents, and children with HIV.
