Abstract:

The AIDS Project provides a comprehensive array of direct services for Jews with AIDS that enhance their quality of life and strengthen their connection to Judaism and the Jewish community. It also offers varied opportunities for members of the Jewish community to volunteer to help Jews with AIDS. Finally, Jews with AIDS are used as speakers in educational efforts directed to raise the awareness of teenagers and adults about AIDS.
