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!

New UNAIDS report: Key populations continue to be neglected in most HIV programmes
New UNAIDS report: Key populations continue to be neglected in most HIV programmes
Figures from the new UNAIDS report ‘The Urgency of Now – AIDS at a Crossroads’, published prior to the 25th International AIDS Conference taking place in Germany this week, show that the AIDS response is making little progress globally. For the first time in the history of the HIV pandemic, more new infections are occurring outside sub-Saharan Africa than within. Three regions are experiencing rising numbers of new HIV infections: Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa. People from key populations and their sex partners continue to be neglected in most HIV programmes.
Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: Empowering Diversity and Youth Participation in Indonesia
Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: Empowering Diversity and Youth Participation in Indonesia
The impact of barriers experienced by young people with diverse gender and sexuality backgrounds in Indonesia emerges in the context of issues of human rights fulfillment and meaningful engagement in health and legal services. Discriminatory regulations and inhospitable services for young people of diverse genders and sexualities place them in a more vulnerable position to higher HIV infection rates, and criminalisation.
