YOUR THOUGHTFUL SUPPORT HELPS US ANNUALLY
Educate more than 12,000 students, because HIV increasingly affects
    our youth.

House more than 190 men, women and children impacted by HIV, who
    might otherwise be homeless.

Deliver case management, mental health and alternative therapy services
    to more than 300 adults who need a lifeline to supportive services.

Provide approximately 1,000 free HIV and sexually transmitted infection
    (STI) tests to our most vulnerable populations.
Better Existence with HIV (BEHIV) is one of only a few comprehensive AIDS service organizations in the Chicago area and the only comprehensive provider for the North Shore. Founded in 1989 by community volunteers and based in Evanston and Chicago, BEHIV provides case management services in Chicago neighborhoods that include the 1st and 2nd highest rates of AIDS in Illinois.

In addition to case management and mental health counseling, BEHIV administers HIV and STI tests, including pre-test and post-test counseling. Our innovative prevention programs reach thousands of young people each year and our housing programs keep hundreds of people from being homeless. BEHIV also provides alternative therapy services--art therapy and massage therapy--two proven means of alleviating the stress and physical strains of HIV and AIDS.
