NO/AIDS Task Force


About Us

NO/AIDS Task Force is one of the oldest HIV/AIDS service organization in the Gulf South and was founded in 1983 in response to the early devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic in the New Orleans area. The program expanded by offering an AIDS Information Center and Hotline in 1985. In the following years, the agency expanded its services, responding to the various communities impacted by the epidemic as it continued to affect diverse populations. Case management and mental health services were added in 1990. A meal delivery program was added in 1992 and a community mobilization project with offices in the French Quarter/Marigny was added in 2000. Services were expanded to the Houma/Thibodeaux area in 2001.

Today, the agency offers a continuum of services, including prevention education (street and community outreach, venue-based outreach, condom distribution and community mobilization targeting men who have sex with men), HIV antibody testing and counseling, the statewide HIV/AIDS hotline, case management, case finding, housing coordination, early intervention/primary medical care, mental health, support groups, home delivered meals, food bank, peer support services, housing case management, and medication disbursement.

NO/AIDS Task Force serves all individuals, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or identity, race, ethnicity, religion, education, or socioeconomic status. The clients served by the agency over the past over 28 years years have been those individuals and communities most impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This has included men who have sex with men, women, commercial sex workers, African Americans, Latino/as, and injecting drug users. Additionally, the agency offers its services in rural areas.

NO/AIDS Task Force has been delivering HIV/AIDS services since its inception in 1983.
