Chinese-American Planning Council Promotes Safe Sex in Chinatown

Logo for the Chinese-American Planning Council

“The CPC has been fighting to bring HIV/AIDS services to Chinatown since 1990, during the height of the citywide AIDS crisis, when it received a $5,000 grant from the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies. The council used the money to create and distribute a bilingual pamphlet educating the community about HIV prevention.

Since then, the CPC has gone on to receive grants from several agencies, including the state Department of Health’s AIDS Institute, that have allowed it to expand its services — the council conducts education outreach programs while providing services for HIV-positive clients to ensure access to medication and support.”
