We are Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit devoted to positively changing lives in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Through HIV prevention, housing and care, our work to end the HIV epidemic is essential to a healthy community.
With recent medical breakthroughs, the world has all the tools we need to end HIV. But people still get HIV and suffer from AIDS-related illnesses at alarming rates. Misinformation and stigma play a large role, deterring people from seeking HIV testing and treatment.
By debunking myths, lies and misinformation, we can improve real knowledge about HIV and put an end to the stigma. This World AIDS Day, join Caracole and partners to raise awareness, fight prejudice and end the HIV epidemic.
We’ve partnered with libraries in our region to help share the facts about HIV. From November 26 to December 2, 2023, our local libraries will highlight materials about HIV in their collections. We encourage you to visit your library where you’ll find resources and information on HIV past and present — from novels and memoirs to plays, movies and documentaries.
By participating in World AIDS Day events, you can show your support and increase awareness about HIV. It is also a day to remember those we’ve lost and to stand with people who are living with or who have been affected by HIV.

PrEP is a medication that is up to 99% effective in preventing HIV when taken as prescribed. Join Caracole and friends for music, dancing, raffles, giveaways and HIV prevention information on safer sex and PrEP .
The greatest threat to our public health is lack of information and access. Our local community must have open discussions about HIV status and stigma. Let’s all do our part: learn the truth, break down barriers and create a world free from the myths, fear and discrimination surrounding HIV. Then, pass it on—knowledge is power!
