Honor what you’re feeling.
For nearly 40 years, the Aliveness Project has offered care services to Minnesota residents living with HIV.
We’ve served more than 5,000 members and have witnessed firsthand the spectrum of emotions that an HIV diagnosis can bring up.
And we hope you’ll give yourself some time to process them. Here’s how we can support you during this adjustment period:

We can stop the spread.
We’re on a mission to end HIV. We’re doing our part by ensuring everyone in our community gets the care they need through PrEP clinics, regular free HIV testing, and referrals to HIV medical care and treatment providers who can help manage your viral load.
For people living with HIV, ending the HIV epidemic comes down to one thing: Undetectable = Untransmittable.
If your viral load is low enough to be undetectable, you can’t transmit the virus. You stay healthy and well and prevent new infections.
