Ad Campaigns that Saved Lives

As the foundation reflects on its 30 years of fighting HIV, we look at some of the bold and innovative public health campaigns we've used throughout our history to educate our community, change the course of the epidemic, and save lives.

Marriage Equality and HIV

President Obama has declared that he supports same-sex marriage, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to take such a position. Mr. Obama's actions are not only important to matters of equality, they are also vital to our work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

I walk because...

Max has participated in almost every AIDS Walk San Francisco. He does it to remember those we've lost, and to move us closer to the day when HIV/AIDS is no more. Will you join Max this year?

Meet Silvio

This year alone at Magnet, our gay men’s health center in the Castro, will provide more than 12,000 HIV tests and screenings for other sexually transmitted infections. The staff at Magnet simply could not do all this work without its team of dedicated volunteers. Silvio is one of those volunteers.

HIV and the fate of the Affordable Care Act

During the Supreme Court's extended hearings on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, one angle that hasn't been getting much media attention is the unique role that HIV-related health care could play in the court's final ruling on one of President Obama's signature legislative achievements.
