Red Circle Project

History

Established in 2003 as a support group for American Indian and Alaska Native men living with HIV, Red Circle Project has grown to include transgender individuals with an emphasis on prevention and intervention. Many efforts include the incorporation of community advocates, hosting events geared around Native American health, engaging with the local Native American community, as well as creating innovative HIV prevention messages.
