About
AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod (ASGCC) saves lives through prevention, education, and life-sustaining services that address public health crises to build healthy communities across the Cape and Islands. ASGCCs roots are in Provincetown, where in the early 1980s community members joined together to respond to the emerging AIDS epidemic. For years this was a fight for the civil rights of people living with HIV, and equally so a fight for the lives of people living with HIV. Starting in the late 1990s, following the introduction of effective medication interventions which changed the lives of so many living with HIV, the agencys services evolved (and expanded to include all of the Cape and Islands) to focus on helping clients live longer and healthier lives, ensuring they had access to healthcare, financial resources, and other vital support systems. Currently, ASGCC serves over 400 clients living with HIV, across all of the Cape and Islands with offices in Provincetown, Hyannis, Falmouth and Marthas Vineyard.
