Merrimack Valley Assistance Program
Care. Access. Community. Dignity.
At MVAP, HIV services are built around real life — not barriers. We provide wraparound support from early diagnosis through lifelong care, helping individuals stay healthy, housed, and connected to the resources they need to thrive. Today, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives — and with treatment, cannot pass HIV to sexual partners.
MVAP provides the services, education, and support needed to make that possible — and helps individuals stay HIV-negative through testing, prevention, medical referrals, and harm reduction.
Because everyone deserves to be seen.
And everyone deserves access to care.
