Saint Louis Effort for AIDS, known in the community as "EFA", is the city's oldest AIDS Service Organization (ASO). Our programs and services have evolved to address the enormous changes in medical treatment and testing for HIV/AIDS. In 1992, EFA's Client Services Department began providing case management services for individuals infected with HIV/AIDS. Dining Out for Life (DOFL), EFA's annual fundraising event, was first presented in St. Louis in 1993. Today St. Louis' DOFL is part of international event in 68 cities in the United States and Canada. Since 1997, EFA's Prevention Services Department has been providing free testing/screenings for HIV, other STD's and community outreach using the region's first Mobile Testing Unit. In 2015, Prevention Services began providing STI treatment. Our Mission is to provide education on the prevention of HIV/AIDS and comprehensive support services to those affected by the disease.
