AIDS United's Relief, Recovery and Resilience Fund helps meet the immediate and emergent needs of people living with and at risk for HIV in regions affected by urgent crises like the recent earthquakes, hurricanes and pandemics (COVID-19, Mpox). The Fund supports access to HIV care, housing, food, and much more.
In collaboration with The Center for HIV Law & Policy and the Williams Institute, the Alliance supports a robust, community-led, sustainable movement to end the criminalization of consensual sex, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity in the United States. The partnership mobilizes financial and technical resources to foster multidisciplinary, community-led decriminalization campaigns and to eliminate laws that criminalize consensual sexual behavior and stigmatized health conditions, supporting policy and regulatory solutions, political education, cultural expression, and movement building driven by the people most affected.
The Racial Justice Index was launched in 2020 as part of the Public Policy Council's longstanding commitment to dismantling white supremacy and systemic racism. It is an assessment and capacity-building initiative designed to help organizations in the HIV/AIDS sector address racial disparities.
AIDS United serves as an evaluation and technical assistance provider for the Black Women First Initiative, in partnership with the University of Massachusetts Lowell, the Boston University Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health, and Impact Marketing + Communications. The initiative supports the design, implementation, and evaluation of bundled evidence-informed interventions for Black women living with HIV.
Using Innovative Interventions Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes Among People With HIV (2iS) is a collaboration between The Fenway Institute and AIDS United, funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration. Its goal is to improve the HIV care continuum (linkage to care, reengagement, retention, and viral suppression) among people living with HIV. 2iS funds up to 20 Ryan White HIV/AIDS programs and other HIV service organizations nationally, with intervention strategies focused on people with substance use disorder, LGBTQ youth (13–24), people who are or have been justice-involved, and people who use telehealth services.
