Welcome

Although challenging in many ways, 2017 demonstrated that AIDS United is a nimble and resilient organization, able to respond in times of crisis and on multiple fronts. Although 2017 brought devastating hurricanes, a difficult political reality and many new challenges, AIDS United was able to have critical impacts across the nation and the epidemic, and serve as a consistent beacon of hope, achievement, and progress in times of challenge and adversity.

We were able to do this by staying abreast of emerging issues, policies and best practices, and by mounting impactful programs and advocacy that kept us ever true to our mission.
