The AIDS Policy Project

The AIDS Policy Project is a group of experienced HIV advocates and strategists, including people living with AIDS, on both the East and West Coasts. Our members have, on average, ten years of experience each as successful AIDS, LGBT rights, and poverty activists and organizers. We work in close solidarity with colleagues overseas. We reject the idea that AIDS prevention funding must compete with treatment funding, research must compete with care, tuberculosis funding must compete with AIDS. We actively support each of these.  We are attorneys, social workers, physicians, organizers, and people from many other walks of life. We are racially and economically diverse.

Our Goals

• To reintroduce the idea of a cure for AIDS, and advocate for HIV eradication research.
• To secure funding to treat people with AIDS through PEPFAR and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria.
• To demand visible leadership on AIDS from our allies in Congress.
• To do fresh, high-profile press work that reframes AIDS funding issues for the American public.
• To convene meetings and provide other opportunities where researchers, advocates, foundation staff members and others can share information, brainstorm, collaborate, and borrow ideas for their work.
  
• We are recruiting. For more information, contact info@aidspolicyproject.org
