Our Mission and Purposes    

AIN works to prevent the spread of HIV and serves persons living with HIV and other vulnerable populations.

Serving People in Need

Addressing practical and healthcare needs through wrap-around support services, health education, prevention programs and linkage to care creating a culture of health for all.

Helping People Stay in Care

Providing programs that help clients to access the range of healthcare and support services to improve their circumstances and achieve better quality of life.

Recognizing Treatment as Prevention

Helping clients with HIV remain in treatment that lowers their individual viral loads, which also reduces the amount of virus in the community and helps stop the spread of HIV.

Turning Knowledge into Outcomes

Delivering health education, including STI and HIV education and services, to ensure sustainable prevention.

Serving Clients and Communities

We reach thousands of at-risk men, women, teens and children

Our initiatives especially reach the most vulnerable in our community with culturally competent programs, targeted initiatives and collaborations with area service providers.

All our clients are low-income; 62% are African American, 19% Hispanic, 19% Anglo and other ethnicities.

Over 25% are women; half are homeless or marginally housed; all need funded services and care.
