Our mission
Our mission is to save and extend lives. We minimize the stress and complexity of the path from unknown HIV status to managed care for all people by using a community-centered, low-cost approach.
Our Events
We partner with local community hubs like grocery stores and laundromats in Washington, DC’s most HIV-burdened neighborhoods, then train thousands of passionate local volunteers to go out, set up low-cost canvas tents, and offer entirely free, 15-minute all around services to help people stay on top of their health without needing to leave their neighborhood, make an appointment, or spend any money.
Thank you for being here.
