Our Work
AIDS United champions federal and state policies that increase HIV funding, reduce stigma, protect the rights of people living with HIV, and center the communities most impacted by the epidemic.
We have all the scientific tools to end the HIV epidemic. What we lack is the political will to invest in these interventions. Here's what we're fighting for.
We push Congress for the budget and appropriations needed to end the epidemic, strengthen the Ryan White Program, and sustain investment in evidence-based prevention strategies.
We educate Congress about HIV and push the president's administration to prioritize it, making the political case for the interventions that end the epidemic.
We champion a harm reduction approach, meeting people who use drugs where they are with the services and policies that keep them healthy.
We advocate for integrating HIV prevention, care, and treatment into health care, and for greater diversity and inclusiveness across the response.
We fight for secure housing for everyone living with and vulnerable to HIV, and for policies that address the social determinants of health.
We ensure the meaningful involvement of people living with HIV at every level, because those closest to the epidemic must lead the response.
Our roadmap
For the first time since the National HIV Strategy in 2010, the domestic HIV community came together to call on the U.S. government to commit to ending the epidemic. Our Roadmap for Federal Action, endorsed by 250+ organizations, lays out the path forward.
Set public health goals to end the U.S. HIV epidemic and eliminate HIV-related health disparities.
Sustain health insurance programs, enhance the Ryan White Program, and protect the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
Expand evidence-based prevention, spread U=U, and confront the injection drug use and STI syndemics.
Fund services that support retention in care, and provide leadership to end HIV criminalization.
Sustain U.S. investment in the lifesaving research that drives progress against HIV.
Center the leadership of people living with and vulnerable to HIV at every level of the response.
Each year, hundreds of advocates living with and affected by HIV travel to Washington, D.C. for AIDSWatch, the largest national constituent-based HIV advocacy event. Advocates meet with members of Congress to share their stories and make the case for HIV funding and policies that save lives.
