| About
The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania
People with HIV and AIDS
may need a lawyer as much as a doctor.
All too often, society's bigotry,
bureaucracy and ignorance cause serious legal problems for people with
HIV/AIDS. But most people with HIV/AIDS can't afford a lawyer. For 19
years, the AIDS Law Project of PA has been fighting for the rights of
Pennsylvanians living with HIV/AIDS.
We provide assistance with the following
legal issues:
-
AIDS Discrimination
-
Access to health
care
-
Wills, living wills
and healthcare power of attorney
-
Social Security
disability benefits
-
Welfare benefits
-
Insurance coverage
-
Housing
-
Financial issues and
debt

AIDS-related legal issues, and works at local, state and national levels
to achieve fair laws and policies.
