Love Heals | Speakers Bureau

As the leading provider of HIV/AIDS education in New York City, the Love Heals Speakers Bureau has reached more than 631,000 young people throughout the five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester County.

HIV-positive speakers and trained health educators visit 100-200 schools and community groups annually to share personal testimonials about how they contracted the virus and ways in which the virus has impacted their lives.

Yearly focus group evaluations regularly find that hearing the speaker’s story along with key HIV transmission/prevention facts made HIV and its prevalence an urgent reality. Young people become more sexually responsible, which includes using condoms and having open communication with partners.
