New Horizons Community Service Board - SISTA Project
THE SISTA PROJECT
 
(Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS)
 
 
The SISTA Project is a peer-led social skills training intervention for African American women with the primary aim to reduce HIV sexual risk behavior. 
 
Classes range in size from 10-12 women in five 2-hour sessions. 
 
Women will improve in the areas of:
 
  • Ethnic and Gender Pride
  • Consistent Condom Use
  • Sexual Behavior Self Control
  • Communication with Partner
  • Assertiveness in Protecting Oneself
 
 
 
Topics of the class include:
 
  • Ethnic and Gender Pride
  • HIV/AIDS Education
  • Assertive Skills Training
  • Behavioral Self Management Training
  • Coping Skills
 
Factors such as inequality in relationships, socioeconomic stresses, substance abuse and psychological issues increase a woman's risk of HIV infection.  In addition, some STDs greatly increase the chances of getting and transmitting the HIV infection.
