AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania

People with HIV and AIDS may need a lawyer as much as a doctor. All too often, society's bigotry, bureaucracy and ignorance cause serious legal problems for people with HIV/AIDS. But most people with HIV/AIDS can't afford a lawyer. For 20 years, the AIDS Law Project of PA has been fighting for the rights of Pennsylvanians living with HIV/AIDS. For people with HIV/AIDS, we provide legal assistance with the following issues: * AIDS discrimination * Access to healthcare * Wills, living wills, power of attorney * Social Security disability benefits * Welfare benefits * Insurance coverage * Housing * Financial issues and debt * Immigration Founded in 1988, the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania is a non-profit, public interest law firm providing free legal assistance to people with HIV/AIDS and those affected by the epidemic. From its home office in Philadelphia, the AIDS Law Project also educates the public about AIDS-related legal issues and works at local, state and national levels to achieve fair laws and policies.
