After going over data for HIV cases in Georgia at her new job with the state Department of Community Health, Leisha McKinley-Beach said she knew something specific needed to be done at the state level to address the high numbers of gay and bisexual men contracting the virus.
“I started work in February and after going over the data of HIV cases, I saw it was disproportionately affecting gay and bisexual men,” said McKinley-Beach, HIV prevention program manager for the state Department of Community Health.
So McKinley-Beach and the state’s HIV Unit of the Division of Public Health formed a task force of gay men and came up with a 12-month plan called “Taking Control,” designed to address the needs of gay and bisexual men in a language and way that resonates with them.
