The People With AIDS Coalition of Utah is dedicated to providing educational and support services that enhance the quality of life for all people impacted by HIV / AIDS.

PWACU was established in 1988, since then we have become an integral part of Utah’s HIV/AIDS community by providing several unique services throughout Utah.

Education

We publish the Positive Press, a community newsletter about HIV/AIDS.  The Positive Press contains a variety of articles that explore issues such as new medical treatments, client services and general information about the Utah HIV/AIDS community.  It also includes articles by people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and news about upcoming community events.  The Positive Press is free of charge and is available online.

Our Resource Library contains a selection of books, journals, DVD’s, and articles covering different aspects of HIV/AIDS.  Our library is open to the community and includes free Internet access.

As part of PWACU’s educational efforts, we provide Seminars.  The Seminars offer people affected by HIV/AIDS a chance to learn about pertinent issues and talk with others impacted by the disease.

Our Speakers Bureau is designed to provide education about HIV/AIDS to the community at large.  Presentations are available for schools, detention centers, businesses and community organizations.  Educational presentations can take a number of different forms, and can be customized for your group.  We can focus on HIV prevention, treatment and care, awareness and compassion or anything else you would like.
