Calvin Tan was diagnosed HIV-positive at a time when the illness carried heavy stigma in Singapore. He shares the shock of his diagnosis, the rejection he faced, and the emotional toll of telling family and friends. Calvin also explains how modern treatment makes HIV a manageable condition, while stigma remains the bigger battle.

UPDATE: We are at 5% of our fundraising goal! Can you help us keep it going? ๐Ÿ’ช

Since 2011, our Mobile Testing Service (MTS) has provided over 35,000 HIV/STI tests all over Singapore. We need your help to keep this essential service running!

Community-based approaches to HIV testing are key to achieving bringing HIV transmissions, discrimination, and AIDS-related deaths down to zero. Being a peer-led programme, MTS connects clients with volunteers from similar, relatable backgrounds, making HIV-testing an approachable and safe experience for all.

Our van is now 14 years old, and we want to send her off on a well-earned retirement. This year, we need to fundraise $200,000 to purchase a new van and outfit it as a mobile clinic. Will you help us?

โ€ข All donations matched by Tote Board under the Enhanced Fundraising Programme
โ€ข 250% tax deduction for donations min. $50

Donate now at afa.org.sg/mts-fundraiser

And we are back!

It took a while but our free HIV tests are ready. Do drop by our ATS & MTS and get tested, because being sure is s*xy!

Thank you for your continued support!
