After much consideration and research, Back to the Basics Please (BTTBP) has made the following final decisions regarding our HIV Outreach division to take effect, May 19th 2012:

1.  The BTTBP HIV Outreach division will no longer stand on its own but will become part of our Life Wellness outreach program which encompasses holistic wellness, sexual health, and the promotion of Health Screenings which will include collaborating HIV testing at public events.

2.  BTTBP will no longer offer HIV case management, sexual health assessments, or previously proposed sexual health support groups for those who are infected with HIV or other sexually infectious disease.  Inquiries will be referred to the Yuma County Health Services Division or other established support system in the area.

These decisions will allow BTTBP to focus on key strategies that will place more emphasis on HIV Prevention and testing while further eliminating social stigmas through public outreach

3.  The BTTBP Life Wellness strategy will strive to find new ways to offer more effective HIV Prevention strategies, HIV testing, referrals to testing, as well as provide educational materials by collaborating with local organizations and the Yuma County Health Services division.

4.  BTTBP will continue to organize and sponsor local HIV events such as World AIDS Day, and National HIV Testing Day as well as collaborate with other organizations to further develop other health awareness events.

5.  Our condom distribution program will continue without interruption. We will continue to provide free access to safer sex kits as part of the Tweakers Project Condom Distribution Program and the Yuma County Health Services Division.

Finally, we do apologize for these announcements; however, as income for our HIV division continues to wane and after carefully considering the changes in future funding projections for HIV services, we feel that BTTBP will provide more focus and better services for HIV Prevention and Testing through a simpler and more focused strategy.

Please stay tuned as we implement these changes and begin to mold our new strategies for a better Yuma!
