Health Awareness Services provides HIV services to communities affected and infected with HIV/AIDS since 1989. Our program prides itself in providing quality care and education to improve the quality of life of all clients affected by HIV. The program is partially funded by Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Boston Public Health Commission, Metro West Community Health Care Foundation and Donations (Donation Form).

Our goals are to:

  1. Increase the number of person at risk who know their status
  2. Reduce number of new infections
  3. Improve the health and well being of people living with, and at risk of, HIV

We offer:

  1. HIV Testing to clients at risk of HIV. HIV Testing is done via blood testing and Oral Mucosal testing (not a saliva test). Test results may be ready in 20 minutes (Rapid testing); this all depends on what type of test you choose at the time of testing, when you see the HIV Counselor at one of our clinics sites. We offer free Anonymous and Confidential Testing at all of our sites.

  2. HIV case management is another service we offer to clients living with HIV/AIDS. Case managers help clients in searching for medical providers, transportation, housing, nutrition needs, insurance coverage for medical care and treatment and other services.

  3. Partner Counseling and Referral Services is provided to all clients who are living with HIV or may have had a positive test result. HIV Counselors and Case Managers will help you inform your partner (s) about your HIV status. This is provided in many forms: anonymously or confidentially and with the help of our staff or your primary care provider. \
