ABOUT
US
The
Southern AIDS Coalition, was formed in 2001 as a membership organization of
government representatives, corporations, and community advocates.
This unique partnership is borne from the burgeoning numbers of
people whose new infection rates are much higher than the rest of the U.S.
population.
Federal funds do not meet the needs of those living with HIV in the
South and are not equally distributed across the country.
The
HIV/AIDS
outbreak is at the state of emergency in
the southern United States. The disparate impact of this
epidemic on
southern
citizens – especially within communities of color – must be
addressed.
The Southern AIDS Coalition works to provide southern citizens an
opportunity for adequate HIV/AIDS prevention information, treatment, and
health care.
SAC is a federally recognized 501(c)3.
