Overview
The Alaska Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) HIV/STD Prevention Program established iknowmine.org to provide Alaska Native and rural Alaska youth holistic health education and additional resources to promote healthy lifestyle choices.
The website distributes educational materials and resources, condoms, harm reduction kits, HIV self-testing kits, naloxone kits and safe medication disposal supplies and more. IKM also offers the I Want the Kit STI self-testing through a partnership with Johns Hopkins University. All items distributed through iKnowMine are free of charge, shipping included. Items may only be shipped to people with an Alaska-based mailing address, with priority for all items given to Alaska Native people, Tribes and Tribal Health Organizations. We leverage our statewide partnerships to provide technical assistance to people to find services for case management, HIV/STI testing or other needs.
The goal of the ANTHC HIV/STD Prevention Program is to create and disseminate materials, programs and other resources and to provide capacity and technical assistance to promote health and wellness. In our work, we recognize the intersection of the root causes of many health disparities, such historical and intergenerational trauma.rnrnWe also believe community involvement is integral to achieving wellness. ANTHC HIV/STD Prevention Program has many long-standing partnerships and continuously looks to connect with new partners aligned with our goals and values to better serve Alaska Native youth and those who support them.
