HIV RAP: HIV Research and Prevention Library

HIV Research and Prevention Resources (HIV RAP) is a comprehensive collection of science-based resources assembled in a single online library. HIV RAP features education, training and research on HIV/AIDS; 40 effective HIV/AIDS prevention programs; and tools to assess your program needs and implement, culturally adapt, and evaluate effective programs. Developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, these science-based resources have been vetted by independent expert scholars and tested by practitioners in the field.

Community-based ASOs, health clinics and practitioners will find HIV RAP to be a valuable resource at every level of their organization. HIV RAP will help build staff and client knowledge about HIV/AIDs and how to prevent it. The 40 evidence-based prevention programs included in HIV RAP were designed for both broad and specific audiences and contain everything needed to replicate effective interventions. Additional web centers provide tools to build and adapt culturally competent programs, implement and sustain effective programs, and evaluate and analyze program efforts.
