Stop in and visit us, we will be talking to people about a paid health related study we are currently recruiting for. In addition to that, we’ll be having fun – playing trivia and handing out stress balls, water bottles and candy.

Black Gay Pride began in 1996 with a picnic over Labor Day weekend and has grown every year since then. SHARE Project is excited to be participating for the fourth time. This year’s host hotel is the Hyatt Atlanta Midtown, numerous bars, restaurants and shops throughout Atlanta will also be hosting special events. We’ll see you there.

What is the SHARE Project?

The Southeast HIV/AIDS Research and Evaluation (SHARE) Project is a research program dedicated to stopping HIV/AIDS. The SHARE Project is a program of the University of Connecticut with a research site located in Atlanta, GA.

What is the SHARE Project?

The SHARE Project is a research group which has been working in Atlanta since 1996 and is now affiliated with the University of Connecticut. All of the research done by the SHARE Project has the goal of eliminating the ill effects of HIV infection, either by preventing new infections or by improving the health and well-being of those affected by HIV/AIDS.  The SHARE Project does studies with people living with HIV and studies with people not living with HIV.

The SHARE Project’s research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and has been approved by the University of Connecticut Ethics Committee.

Why should you get involved?

Your participation in SHARE Project studies helps us find new ways to prevent HIV infection and to improve the health and welfare of people living with HIV. Some of the SHARE Project’s studies help us learn about the challenges facing people living with HIV today, as well as new ways to manage those challenges.  Other studies are focused on finding better ways to prevent HIV infection.

The results of the research are published in research journals and presented to service providers in Atlanta and across the country. By volunteering your time and effort to participate in the SHARE Project’s studies, you are helping numerous other people for years to come. Thank you for your help.

Past SHARE Project studies include:

· Healthy Relationships

· Stick To It

· CONNECT

· 3&1
