IOOV Launches LGBT Domestic and<br />

Sexual Violence Awareness Campaign<br />

“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 />

YMSM/MSM Program<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 />
