ITTSPrevention: Testing and OutreachThe Alliance of AIDS Services- Carolina (The Alliance) provides HIV prevention services to six of Region 6s 11 counties. Located in Raleigh, the capital of NC and the largest city in Wake County, our office is embedded in a community with a prevalence of 982 cases of HIV/AIDS per 100,000 population and is easily accessible by car and city buses (AIDSVu : Raleigh (Wake County). We provide free and confidential Integrated Targeted Testing Services (ITTS) for rapid and traditional HIV testing as well as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and hepatitis C testing. Our compassionate, non-judgmental approach enables us to test at our location and in non-traditional environments such as public parks, street corners, homelessness shelters, jails, migrant farmer camps, nightclubs, and institutions of higher education. Moreover, the Alliance provides testing at several substance use rehabilitation centers and methadone clinics. In 2020-2021 the Alliance completed 6,227 HIV/STI tests (1,890 HIV, 1,730 syphilis, 906 gonorrhea/chlamydia and 1,701 hepatitis C). We distributed more than 50,000 condoms and dental dams and provided health educators for community events and workshops.
