As part of a national network of 11 regional centers (and more than
130 associated sites) the NY/NJ AETC conducts targeted, multi-disciplinary
education and training programs for healthcare providers treating
persons living with HIV/AIDS.
Funded by the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through Part
F of the Ryan
White CARE Act, the NY/NJ AETC's mission is to assist
health care professionals, through education and training, to
provide optimum quality services and sensitive care to HIV positive
persons, and to provide access to current research and treatment
of HIV/AIDS. We serve the New York and New Jersey healthcare
community by providing AIDS and HIV education and training to
treat, manage, diagnose, or counsel individuals with HIV infection
or to help prevent high risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission.
