A nonprofit agency that has provided critical services for 15 years to Prince William County residents living with HIV and AIDS is struggling financially, threatening benefits for those who cannot afford or get access to care.

The agency's difficulties are similar to those of other nonprofits in the Washington area that receive federal money every year to provide transportation, food, dental care and other services to thousands of HIV-AIDS patients. The federal dollars are there to spend, but the small nonprofits do not have enough time or staff to administer the program."
