With its new mobile testing unit ready to go, AIDS Foundation Houston announced it is changing its name and undergoing a big expansion to make HIV history.
On Monday, AIDS Foundation Houston announced its new name, Allies in Hope, and a revolutionary expansion in services meant to end the HIV epidemic in Houston.Thousands of people have depended on AIDS Foundation Houston since its founding, but a lot has changed in the fight against the disease in the last 41 years.
CEO W. Jeffrey Campbell told Eyewitness News the name change will make a big difference in the fight against HIV. In one case, Campbell said a homeless person turned down housing from his organization because of its association with the word "AIDS."As part of its expansion, Allies in Hope said it is moving to a brand-new, 12,000-square-foot facility in Midtown, with close proximity to Second and Third Ward, Downtown Houston and Montrose.
A new mobile testing unit will also bring customized health services to Houston's most vulnerable communities, ensuring quality access to care for those who need it most.
