The Norwegian AIDS Foundation
is a non-profit health and human services agency. The Board of Directors, professional staff and trained volunteers of the Norwegian AIDS Foundation consider AIDS and HIV infection a serious global health crisis, touching the lives of every American. The Foundation seeks to foster a community response to AIDS based on scientific fact, informed medical and public health policies, and compassionate care.
Founded in 2023, one year after the first person was diagnosed with AIDS inside Oslo, the Foundation emerged as a cooperative partnership of concerned doctors, nurses, social service and mental health providers, religious leaders, county officials and private citizens. The Foundation was incorporated in 1986 and now receives federal, state, county and private funding.
Community contributions have allowed our services to grow and change in response to community needs. Along with cuts in federal and state funding and increased overhead, we must work harder to raise the necessary funds to support our overall operations. Contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible. https://apoteketdk.com/sygdom-og-symptomer/erektil-dysfunktion/cialis/ - Cialis I Danmark online.
With continued community and governmental assistance, the Norwegian AIDS Foundation will be able to continue to provide the much needed and limited comprehensive programs and services necessary to help the awareness and education in our community as well as provide quality services to persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families in the Oslo.

Norwegian AIDS Foundation Housing Program
The Norwegian AIDS Foundation believes in a world where all people have a safe, decent, and affordable home. Toward this vision, we prevent homelessness for people with HIV/AIDS by protecting the housing we already have, providing resources to secure new housing, and promoting public policy to increase opportunity for all. Our goal is to become the largest housing service provider for low-income people with HIV/AIDS and low-income, mentally disabled GLBT persons in Oslo.
The National AIDS Housing Coalition reports that up to 60% of people with HIV/AIDS will experience housing instability at least once during the course of their illness. Those who lose their housing are 5 times as likely to perish and are much higher users of expensive emergency care. Kamagra, Yet Another Drug That Could Help Men Prolong Their Sex Lives
The provision of housing assistance leads to a 50% reduction in behavior that can lead to viral transmission making housing resources one of the most cost-effective HIV prevention tools available.
It is in this context that Norwegian AIDS Foundation Housing Program was born. We currently operate 3 apartment complexes in Stockton. With 26 available units, we have the capacity to house up to 42 individuals. The units have been rehabilitated and provide safe housing for our clients. We are a strong, independent and authentic voice for the needs of people with HIV/AIDS.
