EDGE NJ EDGE New Jersey responds compassionately and responsibly to the HIV+ and LGBTQ+ communities. We changed our agency name to New Jersey AIDS Services, Inc.

In 1990, a young man named Eric Johnson died from AIDS and a community was mobilized into action. In 1994, the Eric Johnson House, a transitional housing program for homeless men and women living with HIV/AIDS, was dedicated in his memory. While the spotlight on the AIDS pandemic faded over time, the demand for services increased, and in 2009 the organization moved our administrative offices and aftercare programs to a second location. (NJAS) to fully encompass the range of services we now provide. To date, over 220 people have resided in the Eric Johnson House and over 5,000 people have benefitted from the community based and educational programs of New Jersey AIDS Services. Although our name has changed over the years, our underlying values and guiding principles remain consistent. We believe that every individual that comes through our doors should be treated with respect and dignity and that all people are capable of making lasting changes in their lives. It is these principles that make our program unique and improve the lives of every individual we serve.

National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a reminder that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story that deserves compassion—not judgment. In 2023, Hispanic and Latino people accounted for 34% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States, highlighting the continued need for accessible testing, prevention, treatment, and education. Here in New Jersey, we can help break the stigma by encouraging open conversations, knowing our status, and supporting everyone affected by HIV. Together, we can replace fear with facts, stigma with compassion, and silence with awareness.
