About Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS:

Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS is Arizona's oldest and largest nonprofit AIDS service organization providing a combination of prevention, research and wellness support to serve 70 percent of Arizona's nearly 13,000 residents infected with HIV/AIDS who live in Maricopa County.

Since 1988, Southwest Center has been on the front lines addressing a steady increase in the demand for HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, prevention education, wellness support services, and clinical trials to help Arizona men, women and teens impacted by the disease.

Southwest Center's mission is to lead the fight against HIV/AIDS by preventing the disease, by improving the quality of life for those who are impacted, and by contributing to worldwide research.

& Southwest Center has saved Arizona taxpayers an estimated $16 million in annual avoided hospital stays. Through our community prevention and education initiatives, we reach out to more than 30,000 individuals who are at-risk for obtaining and transmitting HIV and AIDS.

& In 2009, we provided 110 participants with new, life-saving medications through the Southwest Center's 15-year clinical trial program. Our clinical trials research program has helped bring 27 of the 30 available HIV/AIDS drugs to market.

& There are approximately 13,000 Arizona residents impacted by HIV/AIDS according to the Arizona Department of Health Services. Southwest Center is ready to help the 4,300 Arizonans who are HIV-positive and are not aware of their disease because they are not yet undiagnosed.

& As our Valley continues to grow, unfortunately the cases of HIV/AIDS continue to grow as well. In 2008, Southwest Center's HIV testing program grew by 26.9 percent over the prior year.
