In 1985 Buddies of NJ, after several years of already doing the work, incorporated as a leading agency in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Buddies was there making the difference even as most others did not even have the courage to sit in the same rooms with someone with the diagnosis, in fear they would catch it themselves. Families even abdicated the care of their loved ones to strangers.

BUDDIES DID THIS WORK  of fighting HIV years before there was any governmental funding and years before there were any effective medical treatments. The difference is that today we have the treatments and the know how to slow down rates of transmission. We have the ability to present an AIDS Free Generation.

R.  We rememberthe tragedies. The fights we have fought and the people we have lost. We also have learned from the battles we have won. Period.

E, We educate you with the latest information and provide access to services that help stop the virus. U=U, undetectable viruses in the blood-stream effectively makes the virus untransmittable. And access to preventions like testing, counseling, PrEP and PEP will prevent transmission to those who do not have the virus or do not know their status.

Comma, because this is ongoing and keeps our communities healthy…
