Partnering With Our Community: The
ASC Consumer Advisory Council
To meet the diverse needs of the
communities we serve, ASC's programming is continually updated
and refined. Our Consumer Advisory Council plays an important
role in that ongoing process. As people directly affected by
the epidemic, the council members are essential players in the
continuing public dialogue about how to address the needs of
people living with HIV/AIDS and promote effective prevention
in communities at risk.

"My Perspective," by Lillian
Cotto-Anglada, Consumer Advisory Council
President

hospitalized with pneumonia, I learned he was HIV-positive. I
waited three months before getting tested. I thought, 'I don't
use drugs, I'm taking care of my children, I'm the family
breadwinner—this can't happen to me.'"
