not-for-profit community-based organization that helps

The BAS Mission
We are committed to
improving the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS. Our
Mission is to deliver consumer-centered service to
people with HIV/AIDS, to people at risk of contracting
HIV/AIDS, and to people affected by HIV/AIDS. We do
this through education, advocacy, outreach, direct
services, prevention programs and connecting people to
care.
Since HIV is spread primarily through sexual
practices or by sharing needles, prevention messages
on this site may address these topics. HIV
prevention materials funded by the CDC must be
approved by local program review panels. However,
the materials may be considered controversial by
some viewers.
