About Us

The AIDS/HIV Services Group (ASG) began as a local response to the HIV epidemic. Twenty-five years ago, community members came together to provide volunteer-driven support to people who were often abandoned by families and friends. We did all we could to help individuals live and die in dignity. Over the past decade and a half, we have seen many changes both in the locus of the epidemic and in the available treatments. ASG began to provide professionally staffed programs including medical case management, social services, and mental health.

We now have a mission more aligned to addressing the community impact of HIV and AIDS. Our new mission hearkens back to our founding, when we were less driven by federal and state policies and financial eligibility and more concerned with helping people live fully despite the impact of HIV on their lives. Our mission today is “Building Community for People Living With, Affected By, or At Risk for HIV or AIDS.”
