About
NJCRI is New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive
HIV/AIDS community-based organization. Our
mission is “to help people with HIV/AIDS and those at risk for
HIV/AIDS.” We conduct state-wide HIV clinical trials, and HIV treatment,
care and prevention services in the Greater Newark Area.
Populations we serve include
youth and adults, men and women, men who have sex with men, people who
acquire or who are at risk for HIV through injection drug use, and
others.
NJCRI also seeks to address the concerns and disparities of access to health care faced by minority populations. Some of the non-HIV related services we offer include behavioral research, chronic illness management education, street outreach, substance abuse treatment, transportation, food pantry, and technical assistance to other community-based organizations. Approximately 5,000 people avail themselves of our free and confidential services each year.
