APAIT was established in 1987 as a grassroots AIDS service organization (ASO) for Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs) who were dying alone from AIDS-related stigma and shame. APAIT historically reaches out to the diverse multi-ethnic communities of LA and Orange counties who identify as LGBTQIA-2S, immigrants and refugees, at-risk for HIV/STIs, housing insecure, and with behavioral health lived experience.  

We are celebrating our 35 years services during PRIDE month June, 2022 together with LGBTQIA-2S fashion designers, performers, community members and advocates at Avalon Hollywood (Thursday 6/16/2022). The estimated in-person attendees is around 500 in addition to live screening to boarder audience. APAIT is actively looking for donation items for silent auction during the event. All the proceeds will go to APAIT's 4 housing site which provide a safe space for LGBTQIA-2S individuals while they will have access case management and mental health services.
