History and Goals of Project WAVE NY
Project WAVE was started in Houston, Texas by former radio manager Mr. Ernest Jackson, Jr. The project was adopted in 2001 by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) AIDS Institute and a group of New York State-funded AIDS service organizations. Beginning in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, Project WAVE has now expanded its reach to include the Captial District, Central, and Western New York.

Radio station partners are identified in each region and HIV/AIDS community-based providers collaborate with local and state health departments to organize Project WAVE events throughout the state. Additional activities have included the development of public service announcements (for radio and television) featuring prominent individuals of color and highlighting the importance of getting tested for HIV.

In 2005, Community Health Action of Staten Island contracted with NYSDOH to assume the day-to-day management of the project.

Project WAVE NY's primary goal is to support and enhance community-level HIV counseling and testing events by its member agencies through incentives and other types of assistance, such as "testing for tickets" events (concert tickets, sport events, theatre tickets), movie tickets, MetroCards, and gift certificates.
