letter from the executive directorDear Friends:“Change” is one of those words that can elicit a range of responses. Of course, for some, depending on the circumstances,change is welcome. For others, change is to be feared. Regardless, change is inevitable. And that certainly has been the case withthe ways in which we, as individuals, as communities and as a nation, have experienced HIVover the past quarter of a century plus.When we first learned of HIV, the reaction was clear. Fear. MAP’s message to thecommunity was, “AIDS kills. You could get it. Help us”. Not only were those simple phraseseasy to understand, the response was visceral. Many communities harkened to the call andcame together quickly to seek answers. Most importantly, they also began to change thebehaviors that put themselves and others at risk of acquiring HIV. Sadly, other communitiesstopped at the first sentence, “AIDS kills,” and to this day remain unaware of the real ways inwhich this virus is and, more importantly, is not transmitted. That lack of awareness, oftenaccompanied by fear, is what creates stigma for those living with this virus.Today the message is muddied. Individuals hear that HIV is a big problem “somewhereelse, but not here” or for “someone else, but not me.” And they hear, “HIV is now amanageable chronic disease” and yes indeed, in Minnesota fewer people are dying fromHIV. Without even going into the social and structural determinants of risk behavior—racism, homophobia, poverty—it’s easy to see why we have now slipped into this period ofcomplacency and why we are seeing HIV rates on the rise.But let’s not be lulled into a sense of “oh well”—let’s regain that sense of urgency andthat community-wide bond that created individual and community-level changes back inthe 1980’s. Easier said than done. That is where MAP needs your help. Not just your financial support, but your willingness tocontinue to speak out about HIV. That means to everyone in your social and work-related spheres.Here are a few facts:• New cases of HIV being reported in Minnesota are at their highest level since the mid-1990’s;• Each new case of HIV will add approximately $1,000,000 lifetime of expense to our alreadychallenged health care system;• Each individual diagnosed today can expect to spend approximately $100,000 of out-of-pocket expensesfor managing this disease over their remaining lifetime.And perhaps the most important fact:• HIV is a 100 percent preventable disease.There are no more easy slogans in this complex world in which we live. At least no one has found one yet. The first part ofour earlier message, “AIDS kills” is no longer true. But the rest remains a constant, “You CAN get it” and we still need “your help”.While HIV is no longer an automatic death sentence, no one diagnosed wanted to become HIV-positive.That’s where MAP does need you. Use your social networks, electronic communications and face-to-face time withfriends and co-workers. Remind them that HIV is indeed still here, that it is on the rise and that MAP can provide you with theanswers you need to stay safe and avoid infection. Encourage your networks to contact the AIDSLine for clear answers totheir questions. Seek out HIV testing so that you know your status. Remain informed, and yes, help us out with your financialdonations and volunteer time. Together we will continue working to stop HIV.Lorraine TeelExecutive DirectorM A P 2 0 0 9 a n n u a l r e p o rt | 1

letter from the board chairDear Friends,The first case of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in Minnesota was reported in 1982, just one yearafter the disease was first recognized in the United States. Since then, the response and attitude toward AIDS and the virusthat causes it, HIV, has evolved. As times have changed, the Minnesota AIDS Project has responded. More so than ever, inthis new era of HIV we need your continued support.When the Minnesota AIDS Project was founded in 1983, AIDS was causing a nationwide scare. This puzzling new“gay epidemic” spread fear and stigma faster than the actual disease itself. The disease and how it was spread was widelyunknown and generally misunderstood. Heterosexual infections were presumed to result from infidelity or bloodtransfusions. Without effective treatments, being infected with HIV was a death sentence. A stigma arose, unlike almostany other associated with a modern disease.The Minnesota AIDS Project responded. Recognizing the need to educate Minnesotans about the emergingepidemic, the Minnesota AIDS Project created the first “AIDS Awareness Week” in 1984. Recognizing the need to servethose living with HIV, the Minnesota AIDS Project formed its legal services program, an “Intake Office” for newlydiagnosedpersons, and a quality of life enhancement program. Noting a high risk for HIV transmission in certain groups,the Minnesota AIDS Project began an outreach program for injecting drug users. As a result, today Minnesota has arelatively low rate of HIV transmission due to injecting drug use.In the 1990s, a glimmer of hope emerged as drug therapies became available, effectively controlling the progression of HIV— for some. Withselect success stories, some began to view living with HIV as manageable. Nonetheless, one American still died every eight minutes. And the fear ofbecoming infected and stigmatized persisted, making it difficult for those with HIV to cope with their illness and interfering with efforts to stop theepidemic.Again, the Minnesota AIDS Project responded. In 1994, the organization established a formal public policy department, advocating with earlysuccess for the Minnesota Legislature to increase HIV prevention funds by $1 million. To enhance its prevention efforts, the Minnesota AIDS Projectlaunched PrideAlive—a proven “empowerment model” tool for HIV prevention among gay and bisexual men. And the Minnesota AIDS Projectrecognized the need for a statewide information and referral service, expanding the capabilities of its AIDSLine to meet these needs.Despite this history, the new era of HIV reflects increased complacency. The original scare is over. Living with HIV is manageable for many,assuming they have access to health care and insurance. And many who are at high risk of HIV are too young to remember when HIV was effectively adeath sentence.Disturbingly, some Minnesotans today are not aware of the importance of being tested, knowing and discussing their status, practicing safer sex,and avoiding this lifelong disease. In this new era of HIV, the rising number of new cases—particularly in young gay and bisexual men—is a dramaticreminder of the serious repercussions of complacency.True to its history, the Minnesota AIDS Project is responding to this new era. We understand the need to create urgency in those communitiesmost affected by new HIV infections—particularly young gay and bisexual men. We understand that as a community, we cannot forget theimportance of prevention. In the nearly 30 years since fear dominated much of society’s initial response to HIV, the Minnesota AIDS Project hasadapted its strategies and methods to respond to the epidemic. Together, we will adapt to this new era as well.So I offer you this challenge: don’t allow complacency, ignorance or the legacy of stigma to undermine Minnesota’s fight to stop HIV. Volunteer.Advocate. Donate. Your dedication allows the Minnesota AIDS Project to respond to HIV now and in the years to come.On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank each of you for your generous and sustained support. Our strategies and methods may havechanged throughout the decades, but our commitment has not. Together we can reverse complacency regarding HIV. Together we can prevent newHIV infections. And together we can prevail over HIV.SincerelyEric M. PetersonBoard Chair1Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Survey of Americans on HIV/AIDS (conducted Jan. 26-March 8, 2009)2 | m a p 2 0 0 9 a n n u a l r e p o rt

next generationleadershipHIV is a community issue; we are in this together more thanalone. Each individual can take steps in knowing their own status inorder to help stop the spread of HIV in our community. Commonmisconceptions and fear are huge roadblocks in the fight againstthis disease. For nearly 30 years, HIV has had a hold in the lives ofMinnesotans. Has HIV education worked given that the diseaseremains here today? Yes, prevention and education about how thevirus is transmitted has provided thousands in our community withthe methods they need to stay safe. However, every generation needsto go through their own education process, taking into considerationthe era they live in.Tim Steeves was 15 years oldwhen he came out to his parentsand says that he had no idea whatthe risks were and that this istrue for many young gay men intoday’s society. Tim entered hisyoung adult life in a time whenHIV was not taken seriously butdangerously overlooked. Herecalls his diagnosis as the lowestpoint in his life; however, he didnot let it get him down for long.Instead he has stepped up and isowning his life and taking on thenew challenges HIV presents. Ithas taught him to step up andtake responsibility. He currentlyattends the MinneapolisCommunity Technical College(MCTC) and participates in leading student engagement efforts thereas well as being involved at the Minnesota AIDS Project through thePride Alive program. Tim works to extend messages on preventionand the importance of knowing your own status in order to help stopthe spread of HIV.Tim has spoken out in the community on many occasionssuch as AIDS Action Day at the Capitol to express the importanceof continuing the fight against HIV and spreading messages ofprevention. In his efforts, both at PrideAlive as well as at public events, he hopes to help provide the necessary tools for younger, newlyoutgay men to support them in becoming more sensible aboutprevention and taking the right steps to remain safe. Tim has found acombination between letting these young adults come to their ownconclusions and delivering direct health-based messages to reachthem most effectively. “When HIV is a preventable, life-altering butnot necessarily life-ending disease, prevention can be approachedfrom a more level-headed, consistent place,” Tim says.The programs at MAP like PrideAlive and Tim’s efforts have beenvery successful in reaching many young gay and bi men to promoteself-acceptance and self-love as well as eradicate shame. Most ofthese programs are educational and have made an impact becauseof how interactive they are as well as being delivered in language thatfits this specific community. The groups are diverse and everyone isvery supportive. Tim defines it as, “An environment that promotespositive sexual habits, to help maintainthe willpower to continue the practicesthat only take so long to learn.”Tim’s own public advocacy has beenvery influential in the lives of many as wellas in his own. “This has probably beenbased more on naiveté than bravery,”he says. The response to his story hasbeen mixed, but he reminds himself thatit’s his story, not theirs. By taking hisown proactive approach to dealing withthis disease, Tim has found it beneficialto his life in many ways including hisself-esteem, professional work, as well associal interaction with others.The fear of knowing your HIV statusoftentimes stems from concern abouthow it would impact acceptance byfriends, family, and potential partners.For many young adults, there is a beliefthat knowing your status will end your social life, when in realityknowing your status not only allows you to lead a normal life, but alsohelps to stop the spread of the disease. Many young gay men feelthat it is just inevitable, or it’s in the cards for them. No one deservesto have HIV and it is 100 percent preventable if the proper steps aretaken. As this generation adapts to the challenges of HIV prevention,there is also a new group of advocates and leaders emerging who areworking hand in hand with the Minnesota AIDS Project to stop HIV.4 | m a p 2 0 0 9 a n n u a l r e p o rt

enefits programHealth insurance and financial support is a stressful andoverwhelming topic to deal with, especially when your life is filledwith medication needs that will remain with you year after year.Many questions and concerns arise when dealing with insurancelaws, Medicare, Medical Assistance, Social Security and privatedisability. It is critical for the thousands of Minnesotans facing thesekinds of questions while living with HIV to have honest, accurateanswers. The Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP) has been offeringassistance in exploring and accessing various benefits for HIVpositive individuals through its Benefits Counseling Program since1999.Trained benefit counselors help HIV-positive individuals whoare considering leaving a job or have back-to-work questions, areinterested in a benefits analysis, or are experiencing problemswith support. Understanding the basics about these issues can bedifficult and overwhelming but if you, your family, your friends haveany questions or concerns about this it is essential that there is aplace like the benefits program to help you navigate through thecomplex system.One client, Brenda, contacted the Minnesota AIDS ProjectBenefits Counseling Program because she was recently diagnosedwith HIV and did not have insurance. She had just been releasedfrom the hospital with prescriptions for several HIV medications,which she could not afford to fill although she was in desperateneed of them. The benefits counselor met with Brenda to assist herin completing the process to apply for MinnesotaCare, a ProgramHH application, which would provide access to HIV medications,insurance benefits, dental services, mental health services andnutrition services for her, and contacted her doctor asking him towrite a letter to Program HH requesting that the application beprocessed on an emergency basis as her CD4 count, cells that fightoff infection, was dangerously low. Helping Brenda with answers toher questions and quickly resolving her insurance challenges wascritically important to her health and well-being.Our benefits counselors care about clients and continuallywork to keep clients maintaining their health coverage by settingthem up with case managers around the community. Counselorswork with clients to get access to Ryan White Comprehensive AIDSResource Emergency (CARE) Act funding while applications awaitdecisions so clients do not have to go without crucial HIV care for alengthy period of time. When clients call in, their lives may literallybe on the line but after working through essential life decisionswith a counselor and making plans, there is always a sense of relief.“ I am always really glad when clients call in,” says Amy Schrempp,Benefits Specialist Paralegal, who has worked for the benefitscounseling program for three years. “There is always optionsavailable and our goal is to help the client work through the processthat will provide them with the customized support they need.” Theprogram also works with healthcare providers such as nurses anddoctors, assisting providers with medication information on newlydiagnosed patients.Benefits counseling has been an important part of the workdone by theMinnesota AIDSProject, providingguidance andcounseling aboutinsurance andcoverage. Theprogram helpsindividuals during astressful period intheir life.One client,Fred, contactedthe MAP benefitscounselor becausehe will be returningto work as soonas he finishesschool. Fred willlose his SocialSecurity Disability Insurance (SSDI) and his Medicare right awayupon returning. The counselor explained other work incentives anddiscussed other insurance programs that can be of help in makingthe transition back into the workforce. Fred left the appointmentwith a greater understanding of the rules and incentives as well asknowing what his options are when he completes school so he canconfidently move forward in his goal to get back to work as soon aspossible.Benefits counseling program works with all other AIDS ServiceOrganizations throughout the state and is available throughin-person or phone appointments. Thanks to the MAP BenefitsProgram, people like Brenda and Fred can find peace of mind andassurance about their medical coverage as well as support througha difficult time. “I received so much more than I expected,” says oneclient. “MAP is extremely knowledgeable and proactive. I always feelconfident with their answers and always feel supported.”M A P 2 0 0 9 a n n u a l r e p o rt | 7

This is asignificant increase (13 percent) over the previous year.The 368 new cases are the highest seen in 17 years. The MinnesotaAIDS Project, the leading source for HIV information and servicesin Minnesota, believes that these data underscore its view that HIVprevention and education is at a critical point if we are to stop theincrease in new cases.A new case of HIV disease isreported in Minnesota every24 hours.RAPID INCREASEIN YOUNG GAY &BISEXUAL MENSince 2001, there has been a steadyincrease in new cases occurringwithin the population of young gayand bisexual men (under the ageof 24).a new case ofHIV diseaseis reported inminnesota every24 hours.GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONIn 2008, 33% of the newly reported cases of HIV resided inMinneapolis, 14% in Saint Paul, 39% in Twin Cities’ suburbs, and 14%in Greater Minnesota.These numbers have remained relatively steady over the past fewyears. However, over the past five years, there has been a steadyincrease of newly reported cases from the Twin Cities suburbsincluding a three percent increase inthe past year.AN EPIDEMIC OFCOLOR—AFRICANAMERICANS ANDAFRICAN BORNCOMMUNITIESOverall, only 50 percent of newlyreportedcases occurred inCaucasians. This in contrast withMinnesota population demographicsthat show the state to be 88 percentCaucasian.In 2009, there was nearly a doublingin the number of newly reportedcases in this demographic as compared to 2008 reports.For the 157 young men who tested HIV-positive during the threeyear period of 2007 – 2009, all of the young men, who reported risk,indicated same sex contact.STEADILY INCREASING NUMBER LIVINGWITH HIV OR AIDSAs of December 31, 2009, 6,611 people are known to be living withthe HIV virus in Minnesota.• 3,518 living with HIV infection• 3,092 living with AIDS diagnosis23 percent of new cases of adult andadolescent HIV disease in Minnesotaare among African Americans, who represent just over threepercent of the state’s population. HIV also continues to impact theMinnesota African American community at disproportionate rates.Over 80 percent of men of color who tested HIV positive during thethree year period of 2007 – 2009, reported having had same sexcontact. Risk for women of color was largely heterosexual contact.NOTESHIV DISEASE: HIV disease starts at infection. This term is inclusive of people withadvanced stage infection, who can have the technical classification of AIDS.AIDS: This is the reporting classification for people with advanced stage HIV disease.CUMULATIVE CASESTo date, 9,176 cases of HIV disease have been reported in Minnesotasince 1982.
