Aid For AIDS of Nevada (AFAN)

Founded in 1984, Aid For AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) is the oldest and largest AIDS service organization in the state of Nevada, providing support and advocacy for adults and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Currently, we assist some 4,000 registered clients. AFAN, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit group, provides direct client service programs, food programs, prevention and education programs, and community outreach. It is the mission of our client-service programs to enhance the physical health and psychosocial wellness of the individuals we serve, while promoting their dignity and improving the quality of their lives. AFAN works to reduce HIV infection through prevention education to eliminate fear, prejudice and the stigma associated with the disease.
