Abstract
The increasing number of African-born individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in Massachusetts led to a grassroots effort to advocate for needed resources, policies, and programs. This article describes the African Health Cup (AHC), one of the major innovative programs developed by Africans For Improved Access (AFIA) in collaboration with community members.
