Youth Health Advocate Program

Youth Health Advocate Program YHAP aims to bring awareness about HIV/AIDS and other STIs, end the stigma, & provide resources.

Youth Health Advocates are youth in the community who have taken the time to educate others on HIV/AIDS related information under the YHAP grant. (Youth Health Advocate Program) This includes STD/HIV testing, transmission, prevention, and care. Advocates work closely with an HIV Mobile Testing unit to ensure everyone in Oswego County has access to testing and provide outreach county wide.

is supported by the NYSDOH - New York State Health Department (NYSDOH) AIDS Institute.
PrEP Aware Week is New York State’s bold initiative to center HIV prevention as a right—not a privilege. Held from October 19th–25th this year, The statewide campaign elevates the power of PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) as a routine, accessible, and life-affirming option for HIV prevention.
This year’s campaign features eight dynamic ambassadors from across New York State, each reflecting the depth, diversity, and strength of the communities that PrEP is meant to serve. From youth to elders, from rural towns to city blocks—PrEP Aware Week uplifts the real stories of real people taking control of their health.
Throughout the week, you’ll find a lineup of in-person and virtual events designed to educate, empower, and eliminate stigma. The goal? To make sure everyone—regardless of age, identity, or background—knows that PrEP is not only effective, it’s for them.
This is the PrEP Revolution. We’re rising—for our health, our futures, and our right to choose.
