The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention is a community-based, non-profit, charitable organization committed to providing health promotion, support, education and advocacy in a non-discriminatory manner for those who identify as South Asian living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our services are offered in English, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Bengali, Arabic or Nepali. VISION: Our vision is of a world where communities of South Asian heritage come together to determine their health and well-being, free from stigma and discrimination. MISSION: ASAAP is committed to providing culturally responsive holistic health promotion and support services for people from South Asian and other related communities who are living with, at risk of, or affected by HIV and related health conditions. VALUES AND PRINCIPLES: We work within an anti-oppression framework to promote social justice and equity. We strive to reduce the impact of racism, sexism, heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, classism, and other forms of discrimination on South Asians communities. We approach our work recognizing the social, economic and cultural factors that determine individual health. We are committed to the Greater and Meaningful Involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA/MIPA) in all aspects of our work. We adopt a holistic view of health that includes mind, body, spirit and relationship to community. We respect the confidentiality and privacy of the people we serve. We strive to be transparent and accountable to all our stakeholders. Our programs and services are delivered in culturally appropriate ways while simultaneously challenging the discomfort many have in talking about sexuality and sexual health. We acknowledge the many social determinants of health and our work often overlaps with issues of racism, gender equity, housing, violence, mental health and employment. We are always learning, growing and building stronger partnerships with organizations and people. We aim to ensure that HIV information and services are provided in a variety of South Asian languages by multi-lingual staff where possible. ASAAP staff and volunteers can provide interpretation assistance during visits to doctors or specialists, clinics, hospitals and/or other social services in the following languages: American Sign Language Arabic Bengali French Gujarati Hindi Malayalam Nepali Punjabi Sinhala Tamil Urdu
