Lott Carey Remains Committed to Serve 30 Years Following the First HIV Diagnosis

 

The first cases of AIDS were reported in the United States in 1981.  During the early 1980s, Lott Carey's then chief executive officer, Dr. Wendell Clay Somerville, expressed the organization's commitment to people who suffered from the pandemic and our determination to invest in care and support especially in Africa.  That was a courageous stand in the years when many Christian leaders where condemning victims of AIDS and many people were afraid to be in the presence of HIV positive people.

 

Across the years, Lott Carey has promoted prevention strategies throughout its network and invested in programs of care and support for people infected and affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  We encourage people to be informed and engaged in prevention, care, support, and advocacy.  We live in hope for the day when AIDS is no longer a threat to life and abundant living.
