AIDS affects our state in many ways.

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.

How We Help

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.
