AIDS New Brunswick
is a provincial organization committed to facilitating community-based
responses to the issues of HIV/AIDS. The aim is to promote and support
the health and well-being of persons living with and affected by HIV/AIDS
and to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS in New Brunswick.
We work:
- to provide
leadership and/or resources for communities to develop HIV/AIDS
strategies in geographic and social communities throughout New Brunswick;
- to promote
effective and non-discriminatory HIV/AIDS policies and programs;
- to develop
a network of fiscal, community, corporate and government resources
sufficient to effectively contribute to preventing the spread of
HIV/AIDS;
- to create supportive
environments which will enable Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIV/AIDS)
to make health promoting choices.
PREVENTION
IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SPREAD OF HIV & AIDS!
HIV/AIDS is a preventable disease that has reached epidemic proportions.
New reported cases of HIV/AIDS remain high throughout New Brunswick
and across Canada, and are increasing, particularly among women, injection
drug users, young people and other vulnerable communities. Though challenging
to reach, these vulnerable populations continue to be the focus of much
of AIDS New Brunswick's efforts in supporting education and prevention
resources and initiatives for New Brunswickers.
SUPPORT
- YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
Helping people to cope and improve their quality of life guides the
delivery of all our support services for people living with HIV/AIDS
and their informal and formal caregivers. We are committed to supporting
persons living with HIV/AIDS and their friends and family members, communities
affected by HIV/AIDS, and health, social or community workers. We strive
to support individuals and organizations by providing and supporting
opportunities for information sharing, skills-building, emotional support,
peer support, referrals and advocacy.
