Check with your employer to see if there is matching gift program that can match any charitable contributions that you make. Many companies sponsor matching gift programs that will match charitable contributions made by their employees. These programs are a great way for companies to support HIV/AIDS in Louisiana and a chance for you to double or even triple your gift.
Get informed about HIV/AIDS and share that information with others. Every 9 ½ minutes someone in the United States is infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is found in blood and other body fluids. You cannot get HIV by shaking someone’s hand, from giving them a hug, or from an insect bite. Talk to your doctor, friends, and family members about HIV. Visit our resources section to learn more about HIV/AIDS.
