Soc. for Its Records, 1990-1999(The National Task Force on AIDS Prevention (NTFAP) originated as a program of the National Association of Black and White Men Together (NABWMT), a multi-racial gay organization. NTFAP was officially founded in July 1988, but was preceded by AIDS education and support work carried out by BWMT chapters across the country. The San Francisco Chapter of BWMT formed its AIDS Task Force in 1985. This evolved into a non-profit AIDS service provider, Bay Area HIV Support and Education Services (BAHSES; [no publs. in LC database]) by the late 1980s. NTFAP originally organized under BAHSES and contracts were secured under its non-profit status. In 1992 NTFAP received its own non-profit status and direct ties between it and BAHSES began to unravel. BAHSES weakened and eventually closed in early 1994. In the late 1990s the Task Force had a financial crisis that unexpectedly destroyed the organization.
