WestCAP was formed in 1985 in response to the need for testing, education and support for people and their families living in western Colorado with HIV disease. In 1989, WestCAP became incorporated as a 501 (c) (3), and in 1991, WestCAP received their first funding from the Ryan White CARE Act. In 1994, WestCAP was chosen as the lead agency for Western Colorado AIDS CARE Consortium (WCACC) and has served as such since that time.
