Nebraska Aids Project Inc

Nebraska AIDS Project leads the community in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

NAP operates offices across Nebraska, with one of our most important offices located in Lincoln.  Our Lincoln office provides support to people living with HIV/AIDS and their families by assisting with access to medical care and programs designed to serve the needs of people living with HIV.  Our Lincoln office also offers free HIV testing to the community and provides education about HIV and how to prevent its spread.

The last 20 years have seen great progress in the battle against HIV/AIDS.  Innovative treatments and medications have changed what was an almost certain death sentence into a manageable condition. Many AIDS Service Organizations, around the country, like NAP, continue to provide compassionate and empowering support to people living with HIV.

However, there is still much work to do.  Just because we have made progress against HIV does not mean the fight is over.  HIV continues to strike at every demographic group with more than 50,000 new infections diagnosed annually in the U.S.  Over 200,000 people in the U.S. have HIV and do not know it due to lack of education and the social stigma that surrounds HIV/AIDS.  Today there are approximately 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S.  Every 9 ½ minutes someone in the U.S. is diagnosed HIV positive.

Nebraska AIDS Project, Inc. (NAP) was organized in 1984 when concerned citizens, friends, family members and loved ones joined together for one cause – fighting AIDS.  Organized to provide compassionate support to those dying with AIDS and to provide education to prevent the further spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, Nebraska AIDS Project remains true to that original mission: prevention and support.
