The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts is New England's oldest and largest AIDS organization. Organized by a small group of volunteers in January 1983, the community-based organization now includes a professional staff of more than 100.
All services are confidential and free, regardless of ability to pay.
AIDS Action's support services include legal assistance, financial advocacy, housing services, support groups, emergency financial assistance, transportation, moving assistance, medical treatment information, meal delivery, buddies, prevention case management, mental health counseling, substance abuse services, nutritional counseling, adherance support, case management, and the Hotline. Nearly 67 percent of donated time and money goes directly to client services, community education, HIV prevention programs and public advocacy. Individual donors continue to be AIDS Action's largest source of financial support. AIDS Action is also committed to providing technical and financial assistance to other AIDS service providers. AIDS Action is the largest source of non-governmental funding for AIDS services in Massachusetts.
