Putting people and communities at the center of our work
More than 40 years of HIV prevention advocacy has demonstrated the essential role communities must play for the world to achieve epidemic control and advance global health. The history of HIV advocacy is unique; affected communities came together calling out their needs and demanding justice. The result has been a smarter, more equitable, more effective response to a global health threat than ever seen before.
AVAC connects the global response to the real needs of affected people, and we do this by:
