Aliveness Project
Everyone should have the opportunity to lead a healthy, self-directed life, and people living with HIV should not feel stuck, isolated, or stigmatized.
The Aliveness Project was founded as a community center for and driven by people living with HIV. For over 30 years, we have been facilitating connection to community, offering nutrition & wellness services, and linking our members to resources to lead fulfilling & healthy lives.
People living with HIV who access services at The Aliveness Project are called members.
Anyone living with HIV is warmly welcomed to become a member of The Aliveness Project at no cost.
