NRRC Membership

If you’re positive, you already belong!

We believe that all Nebraskans diagnosed with HIV are a part of the NRRC already, and whether we know your name or not, we are advocating for you so that your life with HIV is healthier and longer as a result of our work.

Since we are living longer with HIV thanks to the new drugs available and excellent health care options, we have dreams of helping the NRRC grow, becoming more and more of a true reflection of the “Faces of HIV” in Nebraska and being an active voice for all people living with HIV in Nebraska.

We encourage all individuals living with HIV in Nebraska to know their status, stay connected to care, continue to take live-saving HIV meds, and protect their partners. And if you are able to, become a member of the NRRC.
