Celebrating Our Impact: Outstanding Results in HIV Prevention and Care

December 10, 2024 by Corey Mohr Leave a Comment

At LGBT Life Center, we are thrilled to share the incredible outcomes of the PS22-2203: Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Programs for Young Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM) report. These achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team in serving our community and making a lasting impact in HIV prevention and care.


🌟 Reaching YMSM of Color

LGBT Life Center ranked 3rd among 26 organizations, reaching 89% of our testing goal within the YMSM community. This places us in an elite group of only 12 community-based organizations (CBOs) to meet or exceed the benchmark of 75% of the goal.

This success underscores our commitment to reaching underserved populations and ensuring equitable access to HIV testing and prevention services.


🏆 Newly Diagnosed with HIV

In the Progress to Goal category for identifying the minimum number of persons newly diagnosed with HIV (regardless of priority population), LGBT Life Center ranked #3.

We achieved an astounding 200% of our intended goal, making us one of only 10 CBOs, out of 26, to meet or exceed this target. This milestone reflects the collective efforts of our prevention team and all the supporting staff who work tirelessly to identify and address gaps in care.


💜 Linkage to Care

We are also proud to have achieved 100% of our goal in linking newly diagnosed individuals to HIV medical care within 30 days of diagnosis. This remarkable achievement makes us one of only 12 CBOs (out of 26) to reach this milestone.


Progress in Slowing the Spread of HIV: A Tribute to Community Action

By ensuring timely access to care, we are not only improving health outcomes but also reducing transmission within our community.

The good news is in: HIV infections are steadily declining across the U.S., a sign that decades of advocacy, education, and community-driven efforts are paying off. This progress is no accident—it’s the direct result of relentless work by organizations like ours and many others, dedicated to prevention, treatment, and education.

At LGBT Life Center, we’re proud to be part of this movement. Through high-impact prevention programs, expanded access to testing, and connecting individuals to life-saving care, we’ve made significant strides in reducing new HIV infections in the communities we serve. From reaching priority populations to ensuring timely linkage to care, our work is about more than numbers—it’s about transforming lives and empowering people to live healthier futures.

While we celebrate this progress, we know the fight isn’t over. Stigma and health inequities still create barriers for far too many, and we remain committed to breaking them down. To everyone who supports this mission—whether by working in the field, funding the efforts, or spreading awareness—we thank you. Together, we’re making history and saving lives.

Let’s keep pushing forward 💜
