Mission
To prevent HIV/AIDS and support those affected by creating pathways to health and stability through access, education, prevention, essential services, and care.
Vision
Honor the past, shape the future - Remembering the history of the epidemic, we carry forward its lessons to build a future defined by compassion, innovation, and purpose, and to end HIV/AIDS.
Prevent new infections, prioritize access - Through health education, harm reduction, and collaboration, we expand access to testing, treatment, and support that leads to viral suppression and affirms that Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U).
Adapt care, strengthen connection - We meet people where they are, providing client-centered support that promotes stability, wellness, and long-term growth.
Drive policy change, combat stigma - We challenge myths, stereotypes, and discrimination through education, outreach, and advocacy. By engaging in policy at every level, we protect human rights and shape a future free from HIV-related disparities.
