To many, HIV is someone else's problem. This view has allowed HIV to spread rampantly through minority communities. AIDS is now the leading cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44. Across the nation, African Americans have been devastated by the impact of HIV. Our mission is to develop and implement programs and services that increase access to health care and health care information, such as housing, health promotion, and disease prevention programs, among at risk and underserved populations.
A songwriter once wrote, "If I can help somebody as I pass along the way, then my living shall not be in vain." Why do we do what we do? We do it for that mother who lost her only son to this epidemic; we do it for those two girls who must grow up without a mother because she too was lost to this epidemic, we do it for that young man beginning college so that he may live to see the fruits of his labor. We are here to make a difference. Join us as we work to reduce the spread of HIV among African Americans.
