Who
We Are
The Owensboro Area HIV/AIDS Task
Force is a non-profit organization working actively
within our community both independently and through
partnerships in an effort to provide to the public easily
accessible and accurate HIV/AIDS education and prevention
materials. We provide support services to those living
with HIV/AIDS and their family members. We provide
free, rapid HIV testing and prevention education to any and
all.
Our Mission
The Task Force’s mission is to raise the level of
concern and awareness in the community about HIV and its
victims, direct and indirect, through education, testing,
and prevention initiatives. We recognize that
HIV/AIDS doesn’t discriminate. For those already infected,
we pledge ourselves to act as a source of physical and
emotional support through programs which provide assistance
with day to day needs like transportation to doctor’s
appointments and stores to financial assistance with
medications, utility bills and housing costs when other
options aren’t possible. We further pledge to address the
social, spiritual and educational needs of our community
through activities to enhance the quality of life like
support groups where real life concerns can be shared,
online forums where issues can be discussed without need for
disclosure and access to information on latest treatments
and programs by providing a gateway to current materials on
the internet and in our office for clients and other
concerned individuals.
