CEO arrested during Mardi Gras for… RETIRING! 💜💛💚 😂

After years of leadership, we couldn’t just let her walk away quietly. So yes… we made it dramatic.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! 💜💛💚

We work hard and we play hard.

Our annual ASONA meeting brings together all nine of Alabama’s AIDS Service Organizations to collaborate, review statewide needs, and strengthen how we serve our communities. It is always an important time of connection and strategy.

This year felt extra special because it was our last ASONA with our retiring CEO, Kathie Hiers, and with our Director of Operations, Dave Bark, who is heading off to manage a golf course.

Bittersweet for sure. Grateful for their leadership and everything they have poured into this work. They will both be deeply missed.

It’s our annual ASONA, the AIDS Service Organization Network Association meeting. All nine of Alabama’s AIDS Service Organizations come together to plan our statewide needs assessment, review and compile program data, and help shape protocols related to HIV care and prevention across the state.

These meetings matter. This is where strategy happens. This is where we make sure services reflect real community needs.

And as you can see, AIDS Alabama serves 28% of the state’s individuals living with HIV. That’s not small. That’s significant. And we take that responsibility seriously.

Today, February 7, is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. It is a time to recognize the impact of HIV in Black communities and to reaffirm the importance of prevention, routine testing, and early care.

When we work together to remove barriers to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment and actively challenge stigma, we move closer to reducing HIV disparities and advancing health equity in Black communities.

We offer free HIV testing and treatment at our Living Well Health Clinic, Monday through Friday. No appointment is needed.
