CDC's Procedural Guidance for CBOs (August 2009)

The CDC's Procedural Guidance for CBOs was updated and revised in April 2006, in January 2008 and again in August 2009. The Procedural Guidance gives information to help CBOs come up with a plan for delivering interventions. The Guidance has information on each DEBI project intervention and how to make the interventions work for your CBO (adaptation). It also contains information on other HIV prevention activities, services, and strategies, such as Rapid HIV Testing and Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services. Please visit the web site for more information.
