Innovative program helps young black men address health needs from diabetes and obesity to HIV and AIDS. While African Americans make up only 13 percent of the U.S. population, they represent more than half of the new HIV infections each year.
In Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, which has the highest HIV and AIDS rate of any community in New York State, a new program is helping young black men ages 18–30 fight back. Called Keep It Up, the program combines health promotion and HIV prevention to help participants learn to take care of their health.
