| Project Description: | |||||||||
| Sista to Sista is a mentoring program with an emphasis and focus on HIV/AIDS Prevention Education. The program seeks to prevent HIV/AIDS infection among African American adult women. Sista to Sista is a nationally evaluated program that was first implemented in 1993 and has been replicated in many cities around the country. HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death among 25-44 year olds in Florida and the leading cause of death among black males and females in this age group. | |||||||||

Blacks comprise 14 percent of Florida's population, but account for 47 percent of the total AIDS cases in Florida. This program will help address the high number of HIV/AIDS cases and ultimately result in less African American females infected with HIV/AIDS. This program will also track and gather feedback from the hundreds of people the program will come in contact with. | |||||||||
