African American Prevention Intervention Network (APIN ) The African American Prevention Intervention Network (APIN) is a project designed to assist African-American-serving community-based (CBOs) organizations, health departments and health department-funded CBOs with adaptation, implementation, quality assurance and evaluation of effective HIV prevention interventions through the Southern Prevention Intervention Center (S-PIC) and the Youths, Adolescents and Young Adults (YAYA) Center.

Specifically, S-PIC focuses on high-risk seronegative and HIV-positive racial/ethnic minority individuals in the southern region of the United States, while YAYA focuses on youths in non-school settings including lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning youths throughout the United States and its territories. The APIN builds capacity among CBOs and health departments through a variety of delivery mechanisms including: information transfer, skills-building, technical services, technical consultation and technology transfer.
