The second part of the Four As mission reads: "To be a key collaborator...in the elimination of HIV infection and its stigma." We are proud that in the State of Alaska, the Four As is the largest provider of HIV prevention services and that we are recognized across America for our innovative and targeted prevention programs.
Studies have shown that prevention programs cost a fraction of what care programs cost. It is much cheaper to prevent someone from contracting HIV than it is to care for that person after they have contracted the disease. Prevention is also important in protecting our communities, and our prevention efforts make us great neighbors. Talking about issues such as safer sex, needle use, and stigma can be tough for many individuals and families, so our prevention efforts at the Four A's are of critical importance to Anchorage and to Alaska. We pave the way to help create healthier individuals, families, and communities.
