ROGERS PARK HAS THE FOURTH HIGHEST RATE OF HIV/AIDS INFECTION OUT OF CHICAGO’S NEIGHBORHOODS.
The HIV/AIDS programming at HECC works with community members to distribute information about HIV/AIDS through group and individual education and provides free HIV testing and health referrals.
HACC’s Community Health Workers attend local events and attend health fairs sharing their knowledge about HIV/AIDS and HECC services.
The program also distributes free condoms to populations that tend to experience higher rates of HIV/AIDS, such as People of Color, women, seniors, and cisgender men who have sex with cisgender men.
