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.
