WHYY covered our World AIDS Day event last Tuesday, where doctors and public health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, called for the federal government and local communities to continue providing financial support for HIV prevention and treatment programs, which were facing proposed funding cuts. Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Stacey Trooskin, emphasized that while medical tools exist to end the epidemic, barriers still remain to deliver care, which funding cuts would exacerbate.

The pressure on LGBTQ healthcare providers has grown sharply this year. Funding streams we have relied on for decades are being threatened or restricted. Programs that sustain care for marginalized people are being challenged at every level. And every one of those pressures lands directly on the people who need us most.

In the midst of this, your support provides two vital things:
- Assurance that we are not alone.
- Ensurance that we can continue providing integrated whole-person primary care, behavioral health services, HIV care, and community support — no matter how hard the landscape becomes.

Your partnership protects real lives and real access to care. Donate today: https://mazzonicenter.org/donate

At Mazzoni Center, it is a core principle to never turn anyone away due to a lack of financial resources. More than 10% of our patients are uninsured, and many others are underinsured—unable to cover the cost of copays.

Upholding this principle means Mazzoni Center underwrites over $1 million in care every year.

Your contribution can play a vital role in helping us continue this essential principle. Become a monthly donor today! Visit mazzonicenter.org/donate

Today, on World AIDS Day, we pause to reflect, remember, and renew our commitment.

Mazzoni Center’s history is inextricably linked to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. We were founded in response to the crisis, born from the resilience of a community that refused to be ignored. Today, we honor the memory of the countless friends, family, and community members we have lost, including our own namesake, Dr. Peter Mazzoni. We carry their legacy in everything we do.

But today is also about hope and action. We celebrate the incredible strength of long-term survivors and the medical advancements that have transformed HIV into a manageable chronic condition. We champion the powerful truth of U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) and the effectiveness of prevention tools like PrEP, including Yeztogo, the latest long-lasting injectable PrEP that is administered every six months.

Let’s continue to fight stigma with science, compassion, and solidarity. Whether you need testing, treatment, or support, Mazzoni Center is here for you. Together, we can, and we will, end the HIV epidemic.
