AmbaMssoacnidraocraB/eC1no9n-9eF1totunder History

In 1994, AHRC grew out of concern
about the high rate of HIV
transmission among people who
inject drugs (PWID) in Atlanta.
AHRC was formally incorporated in
1995 with the goal of educating
PWIDs and non-users, community
leaders, public health, safety, and
elected officials, and other
organizations about the
effectiveness of harm reduction
strategies to reduce the
transmission of HIV/AIDS. One
year later, AHRC secured
permanent office space and
obtained 501(c) (3)status from
the federal government.

Message From
The Executive Director

When I reflect on the history of our organization within the past 25 years, I can only feel pride and
gratitude for being part of this amazing team. 25 years ago, a few university students and professors,
along with few concerned citizens joined hands in establishing the first syringe exchange in the state of

Georgia in an effort to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS and HCV in our state. With the law on the opposite Dr. Mojgan Zare, MD, MPH

side, and no financial support, they walked through the streets of Atlanta and connected with vulnerable
communities. Throughout the past 25 years, many more hands have joined in to help make a bigger
impact in the communities AHRC serves.

2019 was and will always be marked as a historical period in the lives of harm reductionists in Georgia as
HB217 was signed into law on July 1st, 2019 and syringe exchange was finally recognized as a legitimate
medical intervention. In 2019 for the first time, our crew walked out to outreach to conduct syringe
exchange with law on their side. In addition to this great victory, we continued to advance our impact
through expanding programs, finances, and partnerships. Our Connect to Care Clinic (C3) is a critical step
in providing harm reduction treatment for HIV/AIDS, HCV, STI, and Substance Use within vulnerable
communities, marking us as the first harm reduction organization in the United States to treat patients for
a wide variety of conditions within syringe services programs. Our budget was increased by 61%
compared to 2018 and we developed new partnerships with many great government, foundation, non-
profit, and for profit entities.
In 2019, AHRC served 20,540 individuals across our various programs and through outreach and in office
visits. Our amazing team, from leadership, to administration and front line, worked through various times
of traditional and non-traditional hours to make AHRC available to those who need us the most. We
served diverse communities of racial minorities, women, LGBTQI, substance use, sex work, and homeless.
From financial progress to community progress, this past year has been one of commitment,
engagement, and forward movement.

I am grateful to the AHRC staff, our Board of Directors, our invested donors, our dedicated volunteers, and
our partners for all that we have accomplished this year. Together we have established an incredibly
10 strong foundation for growth and impact within the communities we serve and have made history.
I invite you to read this year's edition and hope that you enjoy reading it as much as we have!

AHRC provides free and confidential HIV, HCV, and STI

(Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis) testing to communities in

and around Atlanta, in an effort to prevent transmission of the

virus/s and bacteria and decrease morbidity and mortality

2040 related to HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and/or STI.

PrEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is an HIV prevention DiCsotnrdiboumtsed
strategy for HIV-negative people. It involves taking Truvada
once a day to protect against HIV.

PrEPing U at AHRC offers confidential PrEP screenings, and
follow up to individuals whose HIV status is negative and are
considered members of communities with higher risk for HIV
including but not limited to PWIDs, MSM, and Sex-workers.

At AHRC, PrEP is available to all regardless of insurance,
transportation or financial status. We are here to PrEP you
from acquiring HIV.

"A" can interact without being afraid of things you shouldn't
have to be afraid of.
I used to be nomadic and rode the freight trains, but
now we've decided to stay in Atlanta to have access to
medication and our medical appointments. AHRC has
helped out with food and transportation, going above
and beyond what you expect. The people are
personable and helpful and I think of them as friends.
Any time my friends come through town, I tell them to
go to AHRC to get tested, because they are high risk.
Sometimes it's like people think HIV is mythical, but
people need to get tested, and to get on medication. I
tell people that they can lead a healthy, normal life and
AHRC can help with that.
I first came to AHRC through a client I had started to
date, and that's how I found out about Truvada (PrEP).
AHRC made it so accessible, and the staff really are
available, and they make you feel like they really care
about you. I've even had my meds brought to me, and
you don't get that kind of love from everyone."

some of my practices that weren't so safe have started to
decrease.
I had a friend that was in a bind and I was able to refer them
to AHRC. I know that the staff are not too overbearing, or
pushy. They just encourage you in knowing that you can get
better with making choices.
I like that AHRC has a good amount of options and it wasn't
overwhelming. I was even able to get a liver screen and I
wouldn't have been able to look after my health that way
without AHRC'S help."

woke up in the hospital, she was there and
she got comfortable and stayed.
Patrice helped me get through it, and even
cut the baby's cord. It has been like getting

In 2019, AHRC obtained funding by
HRSA under Ryan White Part A,
providing core medical and support
services that reduce loss of care, and
improve medical outcomes. We
expanded our offices and clinic
services to include HIV Rapid ART
(immediate antiretroviral therapy)
and HIV long term care, optimizing
the health of individuals living with
HIV.

34 New Partnerships & Programs

AHRC's clinic expansion has included a terrific
partnership with Boca Pharmacy Group. Boca’s
pharmacy program is designed for high-risk
patients who are underserved , allowing AHRC
to significantly improve their participation rates
and outcomes.

Our patients have the option of picking their
medication up from our offices, giving them
additional privacy, or having it delivered to their
home.

AHRC knows that patients having better access
to medication will result in better adherence,
which ultimately leads to better health
outcomes, and greater confidence in the care
that they receive from our providers, and Boca
Pharmacy is a part of that.

Healthcare Georgia Foundation is a
statewide, private independent
foundation. The Foundation’s
mission is to advance the health of
all Georgians and to expand access
to affordable, quality healthcare for
underserved individuals and
communities.

AHRC proudly partnered with the
Foundation in 2019, continuing our
drive for positive change, and
improved health and healthcare
among the populations we serve
with their support.

AHRC

Communications

In February, 2019, AHRC launched it's monthly newsletter, which has been
widely regarded as a welcome piece in the realm of harm reduction
education. Topics have ranged from the passing of legislation, to Black
women's health in the southern United States.

We also added an Instagram account to our social media presence, with
regular postings on our programs and events, as well as our Facebook
account, which was key for AHRC's calls to action around HB-217.

We also improved our website, with much of the redesign being possible
thanks to Daron Robinson, Founder of SEO Made Great, and Lea
Woodard-Leonard, who volunteered their services to us through
Catchafire. Through Catchafire, AHRC also was privileged to have
photographer Aylin Orhan collaborate with us at our offices, and a key
event, capturing so much of what we do, and how we do it.

AHRC would like to express gratitude to Community Foundation for Greater
Atlanta, who provided us with the Catchafire subscription, allowing us to
connect with such wonderful volunteers like Daron, Lea and Aylin, to whom
44 we are also grateful.
