Do you have HIV, AIDS or Hepatitis and need help? Are you afraid to ask for help? Are you unsure of where to get help? The Florida Department of Health, Volusia County AIDS Program Office is here to help you improve the quality of your life. The state of Florida offers a variety of confidential HIV/AIDS services. New treatments, medications and support mean longer, healthier lives for people with HIV. The more you know about this chronic illness, the more you’ll be able to work with your health care provider to manage your own health care. Everyone approaches HIV in a different way.
