About Us

Our Mission

HIV Alliance was founded in Eugene, Oregon in 1994 to support people living with HIV/AIDS and prevent new HIV infections.

What We Do

As an agency, we are committed to not only addressing our clients’ needs for HIV-specific care and prevention services, but to reducing all barriers to wellness. Our prevention and care programs work together to support and protect people living with and at-risk for HIV in our community, and we are able to provide comprehensive support to respond to a variety of needs experienced by our clients.

Our current programs include:

• HIV care coordination and support services for people living with HIV
• Hepatitis C case management
• Prevention and harm reduction services
• COVID-19 testing and vaccination

How We Accomplish Our Mission

We provide interventions that are highly evidence based, low barrier, trauma informed, equity oriented, and client centered and which work to directly address social determinants of health. Our approach is grounded in harm reduction, meaning that we “meet our clients where they are at” and deliver services without judgment or coercion. Our programs are built on core values, including collaboration, empowerment, adaptability and innovation, continuous improvement, and nonjudgement.

Commitment to Equity

HIV Alliance is comprised of diverse individuals committed to reducing health disparities in our state, including higher rates of HIV and increased HIV-related health disparities that impact LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, unhoused communities, people impacted by behavioral health issues, people living in rural areas, and others who might find it difficult to access services from more traditional providers. This goal is core to our commitment to antiracism and to creating a more just and equitable Oregon. Our organization continues to listen to and learn from the voices of the people we serve, and we are honored to have built strong relationships with clients and community partners who are representative of Oregon’s strong diversity.

To achieve our mission, we work closely with a range of community organizations and providers that specialize in providing culturally responsive services. We value highly the input of our staff, board, and the people we serve in guiding our programs and believe strongly that ongoing inclusion is essential to appropriately and effectively addressing the needs of our clients.

HIV Alliance’s Equity Leadership Committee gives space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ staff as well as allies to have a voice in shaping our equity priorities and practices. This has specifically included the formation of equity goals, including fostering an inclusive agency culture, continually adapting programs to meet the needs of diverse communities disproportionately impacted by HIV, nurturing strategic partnerships and community engagement, and communicating progress and challenges to ensure transparency.
