Administrative history
AIDS Nova Scotia was first established in 1982 as the Gay Men's Health Association of Halifax, with a mission to provide supports and conduct advocacy efforts on behalf of persons living with HIV/AIDS [PWA's] in the Halifax area. After changing its name to the Metro Area Committee on AIDS [MACAIDS], the organization was incorporated on November 28, 1985. In 1992, MACAIDS once again changed its name to AIDS Nova Scotia [ANS]. For the duration of its operations, ANS connected PWAs with supports and services, and advocated for government action and improvements to the health care system. It also operated the INFORM-AIDS helpline during the late 1980s and early 1990s, which directed PWA's and their families to care and support services. In 1995, AIDS Nova Scotia merged with the Nova Scotia Persons with AIDS Coalition to form the AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia.
