Are You the Difference? Initiative

Help end all new
HIV infections
in Sacramento!

Client Quote

I have been using drugs most of my life and have spent more time in prison than I have out. Sometimes I give up hope that anything can change. I want to be healthy and I want to quit using but it is hard. They help me see that it is possible for things to be different. I think someday they will.

Are You the Difference? Initiative

Our Vision: We’re striving to end new infections of HIV in Sacramento by 2015. We’re going to do this by making sure…

Every person knows their HIV status.
Early HIV diagnosis is the norm.
Behaviors that lead to HIV infection are understood by all.
All communities are open and accepting of people with HIV/AIDS.
The disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS among social and ethnic minorities, particularly gay men, African Americans, and Latinos is a priority.
Funding is sufficient for services needed by those with HIV/AIDS.

You can help us by becoming involved in our outreach efforts. We can’t end HIV without the support of volunteers, advocates and donors. Learn more by visiting www.areyouthedifference.org.
