Friends For Life

The mission of Friends For Life is to prevent the spread of HIV and help those affected by HIV/AIDS live well. We envision a community that:

​Openly discusses HIV without shame or judgment,

1. Recognizes the roots and impact of the epidemic,

2. Encourages the healthy living habits that support viral suppression for those living with HIV, and

3. Joins our work (and that of our many community partners) in completely eradicating HIV transmissions in Memphis.

For more than three decades, Friends For Life has been preventing the spread of HIV and helping those affected by HIV/AIDS live well. Our holistic, client-centered approach provides a variety of services coordinated through one centralized model. We strive to address the roots of need—including stigma and inequality—to improve health and wellness for everyone we serve. Our goal is to eliminate new transmissions of HIV in Memphis and the Mid-South and empower those living with HIV to become their healthiest, happiest selves.
