Who We Are

The Adolescent AIDS Program (AAP) is a program of the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York, and holds the distinction of being the nation’s first adolescent-focused HIV/AIDS center. A model multidisciplinary program, the AAP maintains an ethos of caring, learning and teaching. In every aspect of our work with patients, health care systems and communities, we strive to maximize the health of all young people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and to inspire them to reach their full potential.
