History: BAAP/PROCABI was started in 1994 by Robin H. Slade, one man who had a vision for helping the Latino population which was not being reached with education and information about HIV/ AIDS. He would distribute condoms which were donated by David's Coffeehouse and private donors on the streets of Tijuana and finally the American Humanist Association became his sponsor to help him in securing Grants. In 1996 the Alliance Healthcare Foundation gave the first grant for thepurchase of a computer and to buy condoms for the program.
In 1997 the AIDS ASSOCIATION U. S.-Mexico (AAUSM) board joined with the BAAP and formed one board and in 1998 AAUSM was disbanded and the Board became the BAAP and at the same time an advisory board was formed. PROCABI began in 1994 as a small, grass-roots, San Diego based, group of individuals committed to doing what they could to stop the spread of HIV / AIDS. The organization grew to acquire non-profit status in Tijuana in 1997 and 501c (3) status in the United States in 1998. PROCABI has enjoyed successful partnership and support from the Alliance Healthcare Foundation, the California Endowment, the California Wellness Foundation, and other valued partners. In addition to outreach activities, a variety of customized workshops, free HIV testing, supportive services and support groups were provided on-site, in addition to Education and Prevention services. In experience, PROCABI has applied its unique rapport with the migrant population to participate in a number of HIV/AIDS-related research studies. PROCABI provides information regarding preventative behavior to positives as well as negative clients. PROCABI’s core asset is its relationship and understanding with its clients, particularly the limited English / monolingual Spanish-speaking border population.
The primary objectives of this Corporation are; (a) To design and implement prevention and education campaigns by such means as public lectures, pamphlet distribution and the utilization of radio and television media, for the purpose of helping to reduce the undesirable impact of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) in specifically but not limited to, the Latino community. (b) To provide assistance, including professional and peer counseling, medical, hospice and referral services to persons already infected or affected by HIV/AID. Also to provide a support base for those already infected including but not limited to, support groups, one on one peer counseling, medication and benefits information, plus HIV test pre and post counseling, also to provide service dog support for those who are disabled. Mission Statement. Stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and support those affected by the disease in the Latino and other Communities. This mission is accomplished through outreach, advocacy, prevention, education, research and support services.
