The BAS Mission

BAS empowers and improves the lives and circumstances of adults and adolescents in the Bronx who are HIV positive or at risk and lack resources to meet their daily needs.

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.
