Montana Targeted Prevention (MTAP) is a community outreach project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) working to stop the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) throughout Montana. This program targets individuals who use intravenous drugs (IDU) and men who have sex with men (MSM).

In collaboration with seven other community based organizations, including the Blackfeet and Fort Peck reservations, MTAP hires, trains and supports fourteen outreach workers across the state.

MTAP services include HIV/AIDS and HCV information, free and anonymous HIV counseling and testing, confidential HCV testing, and distribution of free risk reduction materials including condoms, lubricants and safer injection supplies.

In 2007, MTAP outreach workers conducted more than 700 HIV tests and provided outreach and education to more than 3,500 individuals who identifed as MSM or IDU.
