Jan | 06 | 2020 – 35th Anniversary Gala
35, An Anniversary Too Good to Miss
REGISTER Here For FREE
You’re invited to join us to experience a little of what we’ve been to people in North Jersey over the last 35 Years. We want you to enjoy a presentation of videos, Buddy Grams, Inspirational Entertainment, humor, art auction and more… this is not just a time to celebrate but to also recall why we are here in the first place: to End the HIV Epidemics for all.
Through our 35 Years we have lead by reducing the percentage of PLWA’s (People Living With AIDS) to very low percentages. We have used testing to identify those who had unknown status and linked them to care (most times) within 24 hours. We have used TAsP (Treatment As Prvention) to gain individual undetectable levels and a lowered community viral load.
Peer Support, Food Pantry & Community Food Distribution, Mental Wellness, Substance Use Treatment, Education, PrEP PEP, TAsP and more are Evidence Based and Biomedical Interventions, Services, and Resources that will help us END AIDS, STOP HIV, and continue to conquer the epidemics of poverty, hunger, homelessness, addiction, racism, homophobia and all that deteriorates community wellness and better health outcomes.
Your continued care and support are a vital means to the END. Come know us better and think about ways you may contribute to more successful years to come.

Can you get COVID-19 and the flu at the same time?
Yes. BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO!
GET YOUR FREE FLU SHOT this Saturday, October 10th at our next FOOD DISTRIBUTION DAY
It is possible have flu, as well as other respiratory illnesses, and COVID-19 at the same time. Health experts are still studying how common this can be. Some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, making it hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Diagnostic testing can help determine if you are sick with flu or COVID-19. more info at CDC
Doctors report that this is “one of the worse flu seasons in their careers… and it’s no joke!”
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR if you show any signs of coughing, fever, chills or muscle aches. It may seem like nothing, yet there are many healthy people who this years flu has brought to their knees and even some to their deaths. Take care of yourself by eating healthy, sleeping well, washing hands constantly, and do not pretend to be immune to the cougher sitting next to you… walk away.
It is important to STILL get the flu shot if you do not, or have not had the influenza virus; it will prevent a hard onset of a flu virus. The flu antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine. … Traditional flu vaccines (called “trivalent” vaccines) are made to protect against three flu viruses; an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus, and aninfluenza B virus.
