Our story
Mission
AIDS United’s mission is to end the HIV epidemic in the United States.
In the ongoing work for social justice and true equity, ending the HIV epidemic in the United States is our chosen role. We’ve seen firsthand how the intersectionality of social injustice, discrimination and health care disparity impacts those living with HIV, and we believe alleviating this struggle is a pivotal step toward our national well-being.

Vision
AIDS United envisions a time when all people, governments and organizations commit to ending the epidemic and strengthening the health, well-being and human rights of everyone impacted by HIV.
We envision a world with an ambitiously holistic definition of human rights.
We must expand the conversation about those of us impacted by HIV to account for and address the intersectionality of health disparities, social injustice, white supremacy, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and every kind of inequity.

Our north star
The voices of people living with and vulnerable to HIV always guide our work.
We exist to amplify their voices until their needs and experiences are embedded in our national consciousness.
Concessions are not enough. We want deep and honest transformation. We want to change the way people talk about, and therefore think about, HIV, the HIV epidemic, and the lives affected by it. Our work never ends but evolves and expands along with our understanding.
