History of BLAIDS
Established in 1991 in response to high rates of HIV/AIDS infections and low admission rates to four-year universities in the Black and Latino communities.
The goal of BLAIDS is educating the Black and Latino communities about HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the pursuit of higher education.
The Black Latino AIDS Project (BLAIDS) is a collaboration between two campus organizations Black Pre-Health Organization (BPHO) Chicanos/Latinos for Community Medicine (CCM).
