Peer 
Program

The goal of the Peer Program is to improve HIV-related health outcomes and reduce health disparities for at-risk communities through peer education. OASIS Florida's Peer Program serves as a primary source of contact to provide support and information for newly infected men and women and also individuals who have dropped out of care. The Peer is a person living with HIV from the community, who shares key characteristics with the target population and acts effectively as a trusted educator, mentor, and source of social and emotional support.

​

The Peer promotes and assists clients with:

• Adhering to medical care by keeping appointments, picking up medications, linking clients to medical care and support services, self-management of illness, and emotional support.

• Peers also work to empower individuals to practice safer sex, reducing all risk behaviors in a relation to contracting HIV, and leading full, healthy lives.
