Welcome to Iris House!

Iris House saves lives through comprehensive support, prevention and education services for women, families, and under served populations affected by HIV/AIDS and other health disparities in a safe, family-centered environment by passionate, professional and culturally competent staff.

Iris House was named for early HIV Activist Iris De La Cruz, whose passion for our cause was instrumental in establishing our programs.

To fulfill our mission, Iris House offers practical, family-centered services that promote prevention and education while addressing the day-to-day realities of living with HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, Depression and other health disparities plaguing our communities.

Love Your Life!  Ama Tu Vida!

To commemorate National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2018, Iris House is kicking off an awareness campaign with new images and partners.  Working in conjunction with Voces Latinas,  The Minority AIDS Council (SC), The Afiya Center (Dallas) and WORLD (Oakland), and designer Duane Cramer, and on a grant from ViiV Healthcare, we have designed eight different images to be used to bring awareness to HIV among women of color.  For more information, visit www.loveyourlife.org or www.amatuvida.org or our own internal page.
