Literature Library
 
Baton Rouge AIDS Society has continued to serve the community for 14 years as a "Testing and Training Center".  It is our belief that educaton is the cure.  We have to commit to a better job of educating our community about HIV/AIDS and other related STDs.  Baton Rouge is number 1 in the country with the highest rate of AIDS Cases.  Little do you know, since 2006 our state has also been number one in the rate of Syphilis cases.  There are other STDs that we continue to rank high in as well.  Let's stop the madness and educate ourselves and others.
  
Literature Library is sponsored by the Louisiana Office of Public Health, Greater than AIDS, and other local and national resources.  Baton Rouge AIDS Society invites individuals and groups to stop by our main location at 4560 North Blvd. and select pieces of literature for your next communityevent and/or  personal education.  It is simple as 1, 2, 3.  1 - Stop by the agency.  2 - Pick out the Literature. 3 - Fill out the form.  The Literature is FREE.  Select from over 30 different topics.
