CHAP is a hands-on training and certification program for young people from communities most affected by HIV to start their career as a community health worker in the HIV field, providing education, testing, prevention and care. Their discussion covers lessons Matt has learned from implementing the program, the impact it is having on the lives of participants, and how to sustain and replicate this program moving forward.  This was filmed in front of a live audience in the fall of 2019.
