Black men in America are living in a constant state of crisis when it comes to their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.  This Soul Talk conversation, led by AFH Chief Program Officer W.

Launched in May 2020 during Women’s Health Week, and featuring a panel of cis and transgender women, Soul Talk was widely received.  AFH is pleased to host this series as it continues to strengthen its relationships with communities of color and the LGBTQ community.

AIDS Foundation Houston Modified Agency Operations

Dear Friends:

In light of Judge Lina Hidalgo's order returning Harris County to COVID-19 Threat Level 1, AFH will continue to operate under a Modified Operations Plan until further notice. This plan both minimizes risk associated with COVID-19 to our clients, staff, and volunteers and enables us to continue to deliver our vital mission to the community.

Highlights of our modified agency operations plan include the following:

• AFH offices are closed to the public.
• All employees who are able to do so will work remotely.
• AFH will maintain a minimal presence at our main office throughout the week.
• AFH client appointments in the main office lobby are suspended.
• New patients seeking an HIV/STI screen or PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) are encouraged to enroll via mistr or sistr.
• AFH phones will be answered and e-mail correspondence returned as usual.
• AFH will continue to serve client needs as they arise.
• For information related to testing or PrEP, call 832-436-3798 or 832-AFH-PrEP.
