IN 1992 THE FIRST COMBINATION DRUG THERAPIES (“COCKTAILS”) FOR HIV WERE INTRODUCED. Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS helped bring 32 of the 34 available HIV medications to market. These new “cocktails” allow thousands of people to manage their HIV infection in order to live a long and healthy life. However, support for programs such as testing, linkage-to-care, case management, wellness, nutrition and behavioral health are still needed to help a person establish and maintain treatment to end the HIV epidemic.

A delightful dinner will be served before an inspiring program to celebrate people who are successfully living with HIV in Phoenix because of your generosity. And then there’s more, so get ready for the party to begin with live music, dancing and a number of amazing celebratory activities!
conve STIGMA CREATES FEAR AND PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM BEING TESTED AND RECEIVING THE CARE THEY NEED. Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS tests over 4,000 individuals each year for HIV and connects individuals living with HIV to the care and services they need to live a long and healthier life. Your generosity keeps those programs alive. End the Stigma. Talk about HIV. Change Lives.

ersations coming together for a great cause Mix and mingle with some of the greatest doctors, philanthropists, celebrities, community leaders and active members of the Phoenix community as we come together for Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS’ annual Night for Life Gala. We can stop HIV one conversation at a time. Together, our voices can help protect the health of our community and reduce the spread of HIV.
Whatever fits your style, the only way to end an epidemic is to TALK about the epidemic. Get involved!
