The NEAHOF Mission:
Working to bring healthcare equality and
to build vibrant, productive lives for Positive Elders
The New England Association on HIV over 50 expresses the natural affiliation of those coping with the challenges of aging and affected by the spread of HIV among the elderly, some of us ourselves infected with the virus.We are housewives, gardeners, teachers, grandparents, healthcare professionals, policymakers, community activists, children, scientists, grandchildren and friends.
- Build understanding and support for infected
or affected older people. - Expand community conversations and activities
to include older generations. - More fully address the interplay of aging and disease.
In pursuit of this mission, we use research, education, communication, personal empowerment and thoughtful challenge.
We promote engagement and mutual respect among professionals in Aging and HIV policy, research, advocacy and care, champion the viewpoints and voices of those over 50 facing the health challenges of aging, including HIV and Aids, ask how age and disease affect HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment and how HIV affects aging.
We believe each individual has a right to respect, information, self-expression, social support and self-determination.
