About this cause

What is an HIV/AIDS charity?

HIV/AIDS charities work on preventing HIV transmission, testing and treatment support, and the daily lives of people living with HIV: from local support groups and testing services to international treatment-access NGOs. Use the country and organization size filters to narrow the list; every profile carries the registration details a registry publishes, filings where they exist, and an integrity assessment. GiveRadar applies the HIV/AIDS tag from each organization's name, stated mission, and registry classification; no charity can pick the tag or pay for it.

An HIV/AIDS charity is a nonprofit that works to prevent HIV transmission, connect people to testing and treatment, or support people living with HIV and AIDS. Under this label sit very different organizations: community groups running confidential testing and peer support, national organizations doing prevention education and advocacy, and international NGOs helping people reach antiretroviral treatment where health systems are stretched. Some focus on one city or one community; others operate across many countries. What unites them is the same epidemic, approached from different points: before infection, at diagnosis, and through lifelong treatment.

What they do

What do HIV/AIDS charities do?

HIV/AIDS charities work along the whole path from prevention to long-term care. Typical work includes:

  • Prevention education and outreach, including work with communities at higher risk
  • Free or low-cost HIV testing and counseling, usually confidential or anonymous
  • Helping people who test positive start treatment and stay on it
  • Programs to prevent transmission from mother to child during pregnancy and birth
  • Practical support for people living with HIV: peer groups, housing help, food, and legal aid against discrimination
  • Care for children and families affected by AIDS, including orphan support
  • Advocacy for affordable medicines, non-discrimination, and continued public funding

Some organizations concentrate on a single step and others span the whole path; each profile carries the mission the charity itself reports.

Before you give

What to look at before giving to an HIV/AIDS charity

An HIV/AIDS donation can pay for prevention, testing, treatment access, or support and advocacy, and each is a different kind of work with a different budget. In many countries the medical core of the response, testing and antiretroviral treatment, is largely paid for by governments and global health programs; a charity that is clear about what it adds on top of that public funding, such as outreach, adherence support, or services the public system does not reach, is easier to evaluate than one with a vague "fighting AIDS" appeal. Discretion is also part of the work: organizations serving people living with HIV handle sensitive personal information, so a charity that shows named leadership and clear governance while keeping its clients out of its marketing is showing you the right kind of transparency. GiveRadar's profile for each organization shows its registration, filings, and an integrity assessment, which is a measure of disclosure rather than of impact. Our guide for donors walks through the five checks in order, and the charity checker finds any organization by name.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an HIV/AIDS charity?

An HIV/AIDS charity is a nonprofit working on HIV prevention, testing, treatment support, or services for people living with HIV and AIDS. This includes community testing and peer-support groups, prevention and advocacy organizations, and NGOs improving access to treatment. Most also sit under SDG 3, the UN's health goal.

Where can I find local HIV/AIDS support services?

Use the country filter on the directory above to bring up the HIV/AIDS organizations GiveRadar lists where you live, then open a profile for the registered address, website, and contact details a registry publishes. For street-level services such as testing sites and support groups, confirm locations and hours on the organization's own website; its profile here tells you whether it is registered and what it discloses before you get in touch or give.
