Founded in 1991, Jamaica Aids Support For Life is a non-governmental organization focused on HIV/AIDS prevention, education, treatment, care, support, human rights advocacy, and strategic research. The private company is based in Half Way Tree, Jamaica. The organization operates through a central office and regional chapters, serving multiple parishes across Jamaica. Its services include HIV and STI education, mobile screening, counseling, treatment linkage, and community outreach, targeting the general population and key vulnerable groups such as men who have sex with men, transgender women, sex workers, serodiscordant couples, victims of gender-based violence, and injection drug users. Jamaica Aids Support For Life promotes prevention strategies like condom use, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), with an emphasis on adherence and regular health monitoring. The organization addresses stigma, discrimination, and legal challenges related to HIV, advocates for human rights, and collaborates with academic partners on research to inform interventions addressing social determinants of HIV risk. It provides educational resources, media content, and publications, and encourages public involvement through donations, volunteering, and partnerships.
