Project ReConnect

Project ReConnect envisions a community where people living with HIV/AIDS are active, engaged members, leading more satisfying and meaningful lives. Our volunteers and advocates are dedicated to the inclusion and equity of people living with HIV/AIDS by supporting people to explore new possibilities and by de-stigmatizing HIV through education and advocacy.
