History of CHeTARE Project
In 2010 when I closed the door as project manager at a Baltimore-based HIV/AIDS service provider, I was inspired to establish Community HIV/AIDS Resource Exchange (CHARE) Project, an information and resource exchange centered on HIV/AIDS awareness, destigmatizing of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STI), sexual health awareness, and related social disparities. The CHARE Project revealed the need for technical assistance and training pertaining to the relevant use of social media and 3D immersive virtual worlds within community health as well as public health. Hence, the beginning of Community Health Technology Awareness Resource Exchange (CHeTARE) Project.
In 2012, Community Health Technology Awareness Resource Exchange (CHeTARE) Project was launched as a companion program for the Community HIV/AIDS Resource Exchange (CHARE) Project. While the motivation was very much the same, the focus of CHARE Project and CHeTARE Project are different. The focus of CHARE Project is the use of social media and 3D virtual world platforms to enhance access and delivery of information and resources pertaining to HIV prevention, AIDS awareness, HIV/AIDS stigma, HIV testing and related social disparities. The focus of CHeTARE Project is the delivery of technical assistance and training needed to enhance basic understanding, usability and application of relevant social media and 3D virtual world platforms within public and community health.
