History

For 25 years, the Southern Colorado AIDS Project (S-AP) provided comprehensive and individualized care to men, women and children in southern Colorado living with HIV/AIDS. 

In 2006, S-CAP joined staff and board members from Western Colorado AIDS Project in Grand Junction, Northern Colorado AIDS Project, Fort Collins and Colorado AIDS Project in Denver to discuss how HIV services could be maintained, if Federal funding was significantly reduced.

Ultimately, the four Colorado CAPs determined that a merged organization is the best move in supporting the HIV population. On October 1, 2011, S-CAP became part of the new Colorado AIDS Project.

Each of the regional organizations will continue to operate independently. Each CAP will continue to have the same name, the same great people, and offer the same great services. But each is now part of a unified effort, marching forward together to meet a rapidly and dramatically evolving need.
