Founding
UAF Legacy Health first began as Utah AIDS Foundation (UAF) in 1985 when the Utah Department of Health reported a total of 17 persons living with AIDS in Utah. At that time, the state and most citizens were unprepared to address HIV and AIDS. The need for public information and assistance for persons living with HIV/AIDS forced a community-based response, which ultimately became the Utah AIDS Foundation (UAF).
