Help directly save people’s lives with Partner
Counseling and Referral Services! We can help People with AIDS
inform a past partner to get an HIV test and the PWA doesn’t
have to get involved at all. They can tell us who they want to inform,
and WE will tell the Department of Health Partner Notification Services.
The PWA never has to speak to any official and there is no record!
We will go to other agencies to help people with this anonymous
partner notification or people can come here for assistance. Call
Cecil Moniquette for more information at 718-585-8585 ext 299.
