If you are reading this, it is likely you or someone you love has been waging a difficult physical and emotional battle against HIV/AIDS.  The VITAS mission is to serve those in the end stages of HIV/AIDS, to relieve pain, control symptoms, improve quality of life and reduce anxiety for patients and their loved ones.

VITAS meets the unique needs of patients with HIV/AIDS who wish to remain wherever they live ─ in their home, long term care facility or assisted living community. If the patient’s symptoms become too difficult to manage, a move to VITAS inpatient hospice services is an option.
