Our Message:

The African American Office Of Gay Concerns, based on our founding principles, comprehensively serves as a resource for the well-being of gay men of color, inclusive of, but not limited to, the gay, bisexual transgendered and questioning communities of Newark, New Jersey, through outreach, education and compassionate care. Our mission is to provide HIV/AIDS prevention services to these communities, addressing issues that are directly and indirectly related to HIV risk, using peer-based, scientifically effective HIV interventions. To accomplish its mission, AAOGC provides programming that has been designed to target and appeal to MSM, their friends and their partners, promoting leadership, community service and accountability in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

This site contains HIV prevention messages that may not be appropriate for all audiences. Since HIV infection is spread primarily through sexual practices or by sharing needles, prevention messages and programs may address these topics. If you are not seeking such information or may be offended by such materials, please exit this website.
