HIV Counseling & Testing

Mixteca Organization, Inc’s staff have been trained and certified by the NYC DOHMH to offer confidential counseling, oral HIV antibody testing and referrals for HIV treatment. Because of the Mixteca Organization’s trusted role in the community, individuals are comfortable sharing information about high-risk behaviors such as multiple partners, prostitution, drug-use and same sex sexual experiences. We conduct weekly outreach campaigns and offer testing at our community center and sites within the community.

Tuesday – Friday 10:00A.M.–2:00P.M. by appointment.
Monday and Thursday 3:00P.M.–5:30P.M. Walk-in at Dr. Rincon Family Dentistry located at 474 54^th St., Brooklyn, NY 11220 (view map)

HIV Women’s Program

The organization’s experience with HIV testing has shown that women in the Mexican and Latin American immigrant community have been less likely to use the HIV testing services. This is a serious concern at a time when HIV rates among Latina women are on the rise. Even when emergency medical services are assured by federal laws lack of information, excessive costs of treatment, and fear of deportation, stand between many immigrants and the services they need. With support from our funders Mixteca Organization, Inc has developed a 7-Week group intervention program for women to promote preventative HIV education among this increasingly susceptible group.
