National Task Force on AIDS Prevention

The National Task Force on AIDS Prevention (NTFAP) originated as a program of the National Association of Black and White Men Together (NABWMT), a multi-racial gay organization. NRFAP was officially founded in July of 1988.

The San Francisco Chapter of BWMT formed its AIDS TAsk Force in 1985. This evolved into a non-profit AIDS service provider, Bay Area HIV Support and Education Services (BAHSES) by the late 1980s. NTFAP originally organized under BAHSES, but in 1992 NTFAP received its own non-profit status. Some of the major programs contracted for by NTFAP have been jointly developed and run with other people of color groups such as the Gay Men of Color Consortium, a coalition of AIDS organizations in San Francisco. Among these programs have been Early Advocacy and Care for HIV (EACH), Educational Models for Community Change (EMC2), and the Brothers Network.
