Columbia CARES can’t thank you enough for visiting our website. Just by being here we are confident that you care for those living with HIV/AIDS in your community. CARES has been serving the region with HIV services since 1992 and are grateful to have the support of many wonderful folks from United Way of Maury County, City of Columbia, United Way of Metro Nashville, Tennessee Department of Health, First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and many generous individuals throughout the year.

Although we have reached the thirty year mark of HIV disease, the fight of AIDS is not over. The stigma has not disappeared. The isolation has not vanished. Every 9 ½ minutes someone is infected with HIV.

You can make a difference. Donate your time or money to an AIDS organization of your choice. Become a “buddy” for someone with HIV/AIDS. Contact your state representatives and advocate for better health care for all people. Get tested for HIV and encourage your family and friends to be tested as well.

Join us to Be a Force for Change!
