What We Do
The Black Treatment Advocates Network Los Angeles (BTAN LA) is a collaboration of community advocates and organizations working together to connect members of the Black community to HIV education, prevention and treatment services with the ultimate goal of fighting stigma, preventing new infections, and achieving viral suppression in the Black community.
BTAN LA helps to accomplish these goals through:
Unique HIV testing strategies and incentives
Peer mentor and buddy programs to link people and help them stay in care
Treatment information and scientific updates
Building communities through social activities
The Drive Out AIDS testing campaign
Support for Treatment-as-Prevention
Linkage to PrEP and PEP
Monthly meetings for networking and strategy development
Educational forums
We can end the AIDS epidemic in our communities but we can't do it without you.
Our Programs
Peer To Peer Program

Peers work to link Black Angelinos to HIV prevention services, treatment, education, and other essential services. Peers also work together to fight stigma, increase knowledge and life skills, maximize retention of HIV science, engage in peer support and guidance, and build community through trainings, team activities and social events.
