AID Upstate empowers people living with HIV and encourages active community responses through advocacy, direct services, awareness and prevention.

AID Upstate began in 1987 as a response to the AIDS epidemic. Since then, AID Upstate has provided a wide range of compassionate and responsive services to persons who are living with HIV and AIDS. Last year alone we provided over 900 individuals living with HIV case management and/or other services through our office.

We are constantly growing and changing to reflect the community needs. We began as a consortium of public, nonprofit community based organizations, private health and support service organizations, interested individuals and persons living with HIV; today we serve a four-county region in the South Carolina Upstate, providing comprehensive HIV-related services including: prescription medications, dental health care, client advocacy, food bank, mental health services, emergency financial services, transportation, short-term rent/mortgage/utility assistance, health education and so much more.
