NWA HOPE - HIV/AIDS Outreach and Prevention Education
We have heard over and over again that free, confidential HIV testing is a need in NWA, so we worked on getting our space approved for testing and getting testers trained.  The center holds testing by appointment only from 9AM to 9PM every Monday.  Call us toll free at 1-888-391-9222 to make your appointment today! Your call is completely confidential.

We use the OraQuick Advance testing system - an oral swab with a turn around time of between 20-40 minutes.  We need your help to collect funds for more test kits, as well as basic necessities and non-perishable foods for people living with HIV/AIDS.  Email Arlis for testing appointments, opportunities to help with volunteering or funding, or to donate goods to the program: ayoung@nwaequality.org.

Out in NWA
The Center fosters community building through drug-free, family friendly low or no cost events.  Out in NWA events and each month's "meet up" place are always listed on the Calendar.  We are currently looking for a volunteer family to help organize or find fun events and activities to attend throughout Northwest Arkansas.  If you are interested in volunteering, please Contact Us!

The Center is constantly working to improve upon and provide additional services in Northwest Arkansas.  If you have feedback regarding a current program or an idea for a new one please Contact Us.
