“No More…”<br />
IOOV was excited to announce the adaption of the<br />
“No More” campaign. This campaign was recognized<br />
nationally and included Billboards, Bus Shelter Ads,<br />
Posters, Pocket Cards, and Commercials. LGBT POC<br />
community members (and our allies) participated in<br />
the development of the campaign which promotes<br />
awareness, prevention, and intervention for an<br />
epidemic that has impacted our community for far too<br />
long.<br />

Our newest program, YMSM/MSM, promotes HIV prevention in the lives of Gay and<br />
Bisexual men of color by identifying undiagnosed individuals living with HIV through<br />
testing, linking positives into care and linking high risk negatives to PrEP and other<br />
risk reduction services. YMSM/MSM program interventions include screening services,<br />
care coordination, groups and community interventions.<br />
