December 1, 2011 is World AIDS Day, a time for the global community to remember those we’ve lost in the battle against HIV/AIDS, contemplate ways to better help those living with it, and promote solutions to prevent the spread of this disease. Please consider making a contribution today in honor of World AIDS Day!

For 28 years the Center has been in the fight. Because AIDS is not going away. AIDS still kills. Every day, people are still becoming infected with HIV. Every day our community turns to the Center for support. To learn more about some of the Center’s HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programs and services, please visit our HIV/AIDS information
