6. Berkeley Builds Capacity
Connecting Communities to Prevent
HIV & Substance Abuse
The Berkeley Builds Capacity project is an innovative collaboration between
UHS’s own Health Promotion unit and the Berkeley Free Clinic. BBC, a five-
year SAMHSA-funded project, aims to reduce HIV and related substance
abuse amongst 18-24 year old East Bay college students, particularly men of
color who have sex with men. The project also aims to improve services at
the Tang Center for HIV+ and high risk negative students, and does this
through an exciting collaboration with Social Services to provide brief BBC outreach team
motivational interviewing to men and transgender patients at Tang who are
in a moment of crisis regarding a high risk sexual behavior, possible HIV
exposure or STI symptom.
By the Numbers
Free rapid HIV testing to 1400+ people
Trained 50+ volunteers in basic outreach methods
