Here you’ll find a curated selection of resources that showcase who we are, the work we do, and the partners we do it with.
We would love this to be the beginning of a conversation about how we can make a real impact together. Because AIDS isn’t over – and what is holding us back isn’t science, but inequality.

We proudly launch the Love Alliance Change Stories. We have created four stories describing what changes the Love Alliance has influenced and how. Our partnership has united communities of people who use drugs, sex workers, and LGBTIQ+ movements, amplifying marginalized voices and advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. Through movement building, advocacy, shifting power, and challenging stigma, we’re driving change, shaping policies, and making a real difference. Explore these inspiring achievements and lessons learned.

This story of change captures three years of impact from the Indonesia Healthy Cities with Pride programme, where young LGBTIQ+ communities led their own solutions to stigma, discrimination, and barriers to HIV and sexual health services. Through participatory grantmaking, more than 130 youth‑led organisations across 11 cities took on decision‑making roles and shaped interventions rooted in lived experience. The change story highlights how trust, flexibility, and capacity strengthening unlock sustainable, community‑driven change at both local and national level.

At the heart of the Love Alliance is the commitment to participatory grantmaking, a methodology that shifts power and resources from those who hold the money to those who benefit from funding. Participatory grantmaking involves communities in all aspects of grantmaking, from application to decision-making. The process is open, simple, and transparent, helping to build social movements and making funding more accessible to underserved populations. By shifting power and decision making on where resources go directly to communities, participatory grantmaking ensures that funding priorities and strategies are informed by lived experience, indigenous knowledge and local context.

This is the executive summary of the report 'Dangerously Off Track - How Funding for the HIV Response is Leaving Key Populations Behind'. This report is the most comprehensive analysis of funding for the HIV response, and is a call to action for the global community to urgently increase funding for key populations. Without it, the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 may very well be out of reach. In 2022, 80% of new HIV infections outside of sub-Saharan Africa, and 25% of infections in sub-Saharan Africa, were among key populations and their sexual partners. But funding for the HIV response is nowhere near what’s needed to provide comprehensive prevention, treatment, and empowerment activities for these groups. In 2023, there was a shortfall of 95.5% of needed funding for comprehensive prevention for key populations.

4 August 2025 – Last Saturday, we took part in the Canal Parade in Amsterdam on one of the boats. There, we drew attention to President Donald Trump’s policy, which earlier this year halted a large part of the world’s most important AIDS program. That is why we didn’t have an exuberant party boat, but instead chose a sober, powerful message: Trump’s actions kill. Love saves lives.
