National STD/HIV/AIDS Prevention Program

The NSHAPP began as the Regional STD/HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (RSHAPP) and was formed in 1989 by the ITCA to respond to the increasing HIV/AIDS disparity among American Indian tribes in Arizona, Utah and Nevada. In 2004, the RSHAPP transitioned into NSHAPP with the acquisition of funding through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) making it a national HIV capacity building assistance (CBA) provider. This enables the NSHAPP to deliver a national scope of work to provide targeted CBA services to American Indians/Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiians, State Health Departments, community based organizations (CBO) and local Community Planning Groups (CPG) across the United States.

National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2008

March 20, 2008 marks the second annual National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. This day is an opportunity to increase awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS among American Indian/Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiians.

The awareness day will also challenge Native people to work together, in harmony, to create a greater awareness of the behaviors that put our communities at risk for HIV/AIDS. It will be a time to reflect on those who have passed and who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS today. It is also a "celebration of life" for all Native people to call for the prevention of HIV/AIDS among our people.
