Learn MoreWe fight stigma. We shape policy. We connect communities. To end HIV in North Carolina.
Now is the time we must speak up!
Join us for a day of advocacy, community, and connection as we all work to address the impacts of HIV and demand action throughout the Carolinas.
Over the past few decades, we have made significant progress in discovering new and innovative HIV treatment and prevention strategies to address the HIV/AIDS crisis. While we have made great strides in addressing the crisis overall, there is still work to be done in the state of North Carolina. North Carolina is home to two cities of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s list of the top 25 cities with the highest HIV infection rates: Charlotte and Greensboro. In 2014, there were 28,526 people diagnosed and living with HIV, including 1,351 people who are newly diagnosed with HIV infection in North Carolina. There are an estimated 36,700 people living with HIV or AIDS in North Carolina, and of those people, an estimated 4,900 people are unaware of their status.
The North Carolina AIDS Action Network works to create a North Carolina that is free from stigma and discrimination and provide mutual support for people living with HIV/AIDS in North Carolina through: education, advocacy and community.
NCAAN works to educate people living with HIV/AIDS, their care providers, and their allies about state and federal HIV policy issues affecting access to care and broader health and wellness issues for people living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS.
NCAAN works to build political power at the local level, NC General Assembly and the Governor’s Office.
NCAAN works to build community and to create an environment of mutual support through engaging supporters and volunteers through outreach and visibility.
Our Mission is to help improve the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS and affected communities through outreach and public education, policy advocacy, and community-building to increase visibility and mutual support of people living with HIV/AIDS throughout our state.
