Positive Efforts

Since its inception, PE has been involved in a variety of neighborhood and community outreach, HIV counseling and testing, and community mobilization activities in Houston. PE’s Executive Director, Barbara Joseph, has been in the HIV field for more than 25 years providing one-on-one outreach and education.
