During last week’s World AIDS Day panel discussion in partnership with MAC Cosmetics, amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost highlighted how amfAR pioneered the nation’s first community-based clinical trials, bringing life-saving HIV treatments directly to those with no access to academic medical centers. “We believe in letting communities lead,” said Frost. “It's part of our DNA.”

A powerful and sobering analysis highlighting the impact of neglecting science-based HIV prevention by amfAR's Public Policy office. If Southern states choose to reject CDC HIV prevention funding and overlook disproportionately impacted communities, the consequences could be devastating — and entirely avoidable. At amfAR, we believe in the power of evidence-based solutions. Prevention saves lives, and public health must remain a priority. Let's ensure science leads the way in the fight to end HIV/AIDS.

In honor of World AIDS Day, amfAR teamed up with MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam to host a panel discussion at the M·A·C Cosmetics Headquarters in NYC highlighting the power of partnerships in advancing health equity and supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS.   Thanks to New York Transgender Advocacy Group founder Kiara St. James; Dr. Robert Pitts, Medical Director at NYC Health+Hospitals/Bellevue’s HIV Prevention and Pride Center; and Dr. Andrea Gramatica, VP and Director of Research at amfAR, for joining us for this informative and stimulating conversation.   “I do think World AIDS Day is a good time to look back, it’s an opportunity to think back to the early days of the epidemic,” amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost, who served as moderator, said. “We’ve come a long way and I think there’s a lot we have to be proud of, but there’s still work to be done.”   Since 2000, MAC Viva Glam has partnered with amfAR, contributing over $1.2 million to support the foundation's lifesaving HIV/AIDS research. This longstanding collaboration underscores MAC's commitment to making a meaningful impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Engaging people living with HIV in care works! A record-breaking 90.6% of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) clients who received HIV medical care in 2023 achieved viral suppression.
