A Special Announcement From STEP

As many of you already know, Seattle Treatment Education Project (STEP) ceased operations as an independent agency on August 9, 2003. However, we are pleased to announce that our programs continue without interruption as we have joined forces with Lifelong AIDS Alliance in Seattle. Now known as STEP, a Program of Lifelong AIDS Alliance, we are based in the headquarters of Lifelong AIDS Alliance on Capitol Hill. Although our physical address has changed, our mailing address remains the same:

STEP, a Program of Lifelong AIDS Alliance
Physical address: 1002 East Seneca Street, Seattle, WA 98122
Mailing address: PMB 998, 1122 East Pike Street, Seattle, WA 98122-3934

Roberto González continues as Treatment Educator, so please contact him if you have any treatment or prevention related questions:

Continuing programs include our publications (STEP Perspective, STEP Ezine, BABES Perspective), Community Meetings, Health Management Workshops, and the STEP TalkLine. Roberto is also available by appointment for group speaking engagements and one-on-one treatment and prevention discussions.

We are also proud to announce that Quinten Welch, STEP's former Executive Director, has moved on to become the MSM Educator/Consultant with Public Health-Seattle & King County.
