Our 2025 Impact Report is out now!

Each HIV cure grant awarded by amfAR holds great potential—to develop strategies to eradicate HIV from the body or control the virus long-term without the use of antiretrovirals, and ultimately end AIDS once and for all.

In 2025, amfAR-funded researchers made two significant advances toward curing HIV using cutting-edge mRNA technology and an innovative combination of therapies.

In 2026, we will continue to fund breakthrough science and accelerate scientific discovery to help the 40M+ people living with HIV and others challenged by pressing health threats.

In the U.S., almost all children with HIV in this age range have acquired HIV via perinatal (mother-to-child) transmission, when HIV passes from the mother to a fetus or baby during pregnancy, labor and delivery, or breastfeeding. Early testing and treatment, among other strategies, can prevent perinatal transmission. In fact, the rate of perinatal transmission in the U.S. and Europe has been reduced to 1 percent or less.

On Awareness Day, we highlight the impact of HIV criminalization laws, which penalize people living with HIV for nondisclosure, perceived exposure, or unintentional transmission, even when no transmission occurred or was scientifically possible.

Rooted in outdated science and stigma, these laws undermine prevention and care, harm quality of life, and disproportionately impact Black communities. More than two-thirds of U.S. states and territories still have them in place.

For Black History Month, we recognize voices that shape health equity and challenge stigma. HIV advocate and music promoter Maria Davis talks to amfAR about the importance of finding your voice, practicing self-care, sustaining AIDS research, and encouraging Black women and men to stay on top of their health.

Evidence shows that increased use of PrEP, a highly effective HIV prevention option, is associated with reduced new HIV diagnoses. However, barriers to access—limited healthcare/insurance access, stigma, lack of insurance coverage, and low awareness—across communities remain.

Most HIV prevention tools are utilized before potential exposure to the virus. As a one-time emergency intervention over 28 days, PEP is taken after potential exposure. PEP is available in emergency rooms, sexual health clinics, urgent care clinics, and through primary care providers.

Love looks like showing up for each other. “That’s What Friends Are For” wasn’t just a song, it became a lifeline created by musical powerhouses Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, and Elton John to raise critical funds for amfAR's HIV research.

This Valentine’s Day, remember that one of the most powerful love songs ever written did more than become the number-one single of 1986. It funded lifesaving HIV research and still does. Support amfAR’s work by donating at amfar.org.

Every day, amfAR redoubled its commitment to science that benefits everyone and compassionate public policy based on what has been proven to work—and will continue to do so in 2026.
