In the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, we stand with NMAC in support of the Puerto Rican community. USCHA is supporting an effort by Coaí, a local AIDS service organization, to create a fund that directly supports people living with HIV who were impacted by Fiona. Whether you are going to USCHA, please consider donating via PayPal. This account is managed by Coaí. The money raised will support people living with HIV who were impacted by Fiona. Coaí will work agencies across Puerto Rico to distribute the funds raised.
We are committed to ending the HIV epidemic in the United States. Through our training and technical assistance, we continually seek to provide person-centered care; increase engagement of people with lived experience; support equitable, status-neutral service delivery; and improve the quality of life for people with HIV across their lifespan. We value our strong working relationships with partners, funders, communities, and advocates around the world, and thank you for your ongoing support, collaboration, and shared commitment to ending the HIV epidemic.
