HIV and AIDS 

The Florida Department of Health, Section of HIV/AIDS is here to help improve the quality of your life. The state of Florida offers a variety of confidential HIV/AIDS services. New treatments, medications and support mean longer, healthier lives for people with HIV. The more you know about this chronic illness, the more you’ll be able to work with your health care provider to manage your own health care. Everyone approaches HIV in a different way. Most people have a lot of questions about HIV (what it means, what to do about it, how long will I live, where to get treatment, etc.).  Our HIV/AIDS section can provide you with the answers.

STOP AIDS: It's Everyone's Business 

It is a recognized fact that community business leaders have tremendous influence within their communities. We are asking for your support of our new "STOP AIDS: It's Everyone's Business" statewide Business and Labor Responds to AIDS project. Businesses are essential partners in the response to AIDS, and you can make a huge difference in reducing the stigma and complacency about the need for HIV prevention. You are in a unique position to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic because you have relationships with employers, customers, and local business communities. These relationships allow HIV prevention messages to become a part of your communities’ environment.
