A primary goal of the Partnerships for Care (P4C) project is to provide innovative, cost-efficient, and culturally competent training and technical assistance (TTA) to the four health departments and 22 health centers serving high HIV prevalence areas funded under the project.  To that end, the HIV Training, Technical Assistance, and Collaboration Center (HIV TAC) was funded to support the goals of the P4C project through planned collaboration with existing HIV-related TTA programs, across different levels of government and with nongovernment partners. The MayaTech Corporation operates the P4C HIV TAC.
