PKIDS

PKIDS (Parents of Kids with Infectious Diseases) is a national nonprofit serving families of children affected by infectious diseases and promoting disease prevention methods across the lifespan through various educational channels. PKIDs educates the public about infectious diseases, the methods of prevention and transmission, the latest advances in medicine, and the elimination of social stigma borne by the infected; and assists families of children living with hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, or other chronic, viral infectious diseases with emotional, financial and informational support. As a pediatric organization, we fill a void in the nonprofit world and work with many national groups as the children’s representative. We believe that much can be done when groups work together and we initiate and/or support such undertakings. We encourage global immunizations, use of standard precautions in daily living, and effective handwashing as proven method of disease prevention. We’re constantly working to find creative projects that will change risky behaviors, illuminate minds and ensure good health.
