The Mendocino County AIDS / Viral Hepatitis Network (MCAVHN) is a grassroots 501C3 non-profit organization.

Our mission is to stop the transmission of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C and care for those living with, affected by or at risk by reducing harmful effects and promoting healthy lifestyles.

MCAVHN provides care coordination, client advocacy, assistance with housing, food, and transportation. We also offer a drop-in center where community members can access health resource information.

MCAVHN's vision is to be dynamic partners in creating a community that is...

• Better Informed • Empowered • Compassionate • Healthier

In 1998, MCAVHN began health prevention and education through outreach. Community Health Outreach Workers (CHOWs) travel throughout the county to distribute educational materials, condoms, and other harm reduction supplies, including exchanging used syringes for clean ones. CHOWs also provide free and anonymous HIV and Hepatitis C testing. MCAVHN is dedicated to stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C (HCV) and other diseases.
