COMMUNITY EDUCATION

On February 14, 1984, the Columbus AIDS Task Force (CATF) was incorporated as the only non-profit agency in the state of Ohio existing solely to address the AIDS crisis. CATF was at that time a volunteer-only agency that met in the living rooms of Board Members and volunteers. The goals were to develop a program model to help care for those with AIDS and to educate the Columbus community about the disease. Since then CATF has provided education to thousands of people in many different locations. Volunteers and staff present education information about HIV and STD transmission and prevention or the personal aspects of living with HIV/AIDS to members of area churches, schools, and businesses.
