Company Profile

Montana Targeted Prevention (MTAP)
Company Overview
MTAP is a statewide outreach and rapid HIV testing program. Missoula AIDS Council, a private, nonprofit organization, is the fiscal sponsor of the MTAP Program.
MTAP utilizes the expertise of outreach workers in Montana communities who work specifically with individuals that are identified as at highest risk for HIV infection. There are 14 outreach workers located across Montana, in Kalispell, Browning, Great Falls, Fort Peck, Billings, Bozeman, Butte, and Missoula. Outreach workers make contact with and provide services to: men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), and men who have sex with men who also inject drugs (MSM/IDU). MTAP is the only statewide directly-funded CDC program focused on rapid HIV testing and prevention of HIV infection in the United States.
Company History
MTAP is a coalition of community based organizations and tribal partners joined together to reduce the incidence of HIV infection among men who have sex with other men where substance abuse is an issue and injection drug users through street and community outreach in Montana.
MTAP was formed in 1999, and received funding from the CDC in 2000. Currently, MTAP is the only CDC-directly-funded statewide program in the United States. Missoula AIDS Council provides fiscal sponsorship for MTAP, acts as the Lead Agency within the Coalition, and houses/supervises the MTAP Program Coordinator and Fiscal Manager, both of whom provide the majority of administration for the entire, statewide MTAP Program.
Missoula AIDS Council was founded in 1989 and remains Missoula's only AIDS Service Organization. MAC supports many HIV prevention, education, and client services to the Missoula area, and is a leader in the field of prevention and education for Montana.
