Welcome to Iris House!

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.
Nationally acclaimed author Joy DeGruy speaks on the intersections of racism and healthcare at our 2018 Summit.
