he Texas HIV Connection is dedicated to decreasing substance abuse and HIV disease by increasing awareness, education, personal involvement and participation in the prevention of these and other related diseases. We Care!

The Texas HIV Connection (also commonly referred to as the "HIV Connection") provides training, information and resources about the relationship between substance abuse and HIV/AIDS.

Linking substance abuse professionals with information and resources;
Making connections with other human service professionals and agencies;
Connecting people with services; and
Providing facts about HIV/AIDS to a variety of populations.
