EDUCATION
Education plays a significant role in the prevention of HIV & STIs. Knowing the facts about these viral and bacterial infections helps in the fight against them. Being informed is also a way to help eliminate fears and stigma concerning HIV and STIs. MAF’s prevention team offers free HIV 101s, Speaker Bureaus, Cultural Competency Trainings, and Sexual Diversity to the community of Maui County. We strive to educate about HIV in a safe, comfortable and simple manner. We try our best to tailor our educational programs to fit the needs of various ages, settings and cultures.

OUTREACH
Outreach is an essential part of prevention. It is a means to provide our services outside the traditional office setting to people of our community. Our outreach efforts are to reach those who may be at risk, but are not accessing services. Our outreach workers can be found at various locations throughout Maui County. We provide information, education, safer-sex kits and testing in Kihei and Lahaina twice monthly. We also go to Hana and Molokai. Call for more information.
