For all that is love, Aidsfonds’ new strategy launched
Last updated on: 28 February 2024
We strive for a world where people no longer die from AIDS and where everyone enjoys good sexual health. A world in which everyone can love freely and without fear. We do this by working together with the people who are hit hardest by HIV, STIs, discrimination and exclusion. We strengthen their voice and support them with information, knowledge and funding. For all that is love.
This mission is the core of our organisational strategy 2022 – 2025: For all that is love. Standing up for human rights is our greatest motivation and working with communities as equals is at the heart of all our work.
Turning dreams into reality
In this strategy we strive to achieve three dream goals:
No one dies of AIDS and no new HIV infections
Sexual health and rights for all
Cure available for all people living with HIV
Data plays an increasingly important role in everything we do. It’s crucial to continuously measure, adjust and substantiate our approach. Together with people living with HIV, communities most at risk of HIV and STIs, healthcare providers, funders, scientists and other collaborating partners, we developed a Theory of Change. This model reflects how we aim to achieve our three dream goals as an organisation and as such amplify our impact.
Whether it is pioneering research on a cure for HIV, tracing children living with HIV or supporting communities that are excluded. What’s more appealing than solving a global issue together? It’s feasible, but we cannot do it alone. I cordially invite everyone who shares our dream and want to join an inspiring movement. Join us, for the love of all!

Medan faces significant challenges related to stigma and discrimination against PLHIV and the LGBTQI+ community. Access to healthcare services is limited, as many people are hesitant to seek medical help due to fears of rejection and discrimination. HIV issues and LGBTQI+ rights receive little policy attention, with healthcare services lacking inclusivity and minimal public education, worsening the situation for the LGBTQI+ community in addressing HIV in Medan.
Three new pilot projects for children living with HIV
Three new pilot projects for children living with HIV
In summer 2024 Aidsfonds launched three new pilot projects for children living with HIV. These projects were selected by Aidsfonds’ Paediatric HIV Advisory Panel. The projects aim to test new and innovative community-based approaches to identify and support children living with HIV who are underserved. This is important as these children are hard to reach, falling through the crack in the health care system.
