HIV SERVICES
More than one million people in the United States have HIV, and thousands will die from AIDS-related complications this year alone. Due to the dip in services during the Covid-19 pandemic, the BRC is taking up work to provide HIV and AIDS services to our community.
​
Our programs provide support for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS, 365 days a year. We offer counseling for individuals, groups, couples and families, regular support groups for those living with HIV, plus a variety of events, speakers, and informal social gatherings for positive people and their loved ones.
For more information, or to request to speak with a therapist,
