Who We Are?
The Maine AIDS Alliance (MAA) was founded in 1988 as an alliance
of community-based AIDS organizations to provide a forum for
the exchange of support, resources and technical skills for members.
MAA drafted legislation, planned summits, and helped create the
AIDS service community that is active today. The first membership
group consisted of fourteen AIDS service organizations and task
forces from around the state. Today, many of the same organizations,
some under different names, comprise MAA’s nine member
organizations. MAA works through advocacy, collaboration, and
public awareness to address HIVAIDS prevention, education, treatment,
