The German AIDS Foundation has been supporting people with HIV and AIDS in need since 1987. Much has been achieved in the last three decades. Thanks to medical progress and new treatment methods, HIV infection today no longer means a death sentence. However, HIV and AIDS are still not curable. Every day, more than 4,100 people worldwide are newly infected with the HI virus. The German AIDS Foundation finances national and international projects for prevention, participation, integration, health maintenance and health promotion in the field of HIV, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. It also promotes education and advocates for acceptance and against discrimination of HIV-positive people.

Much good can be achieved with the funds of the German AIDS Foundation. Southern Africa is a particular focal point. There, poverty, hunger and low educational opportunities meet with high infection rates. Together with its partners HOPE Cape Town in South Africa and DREAM in Mozambique, Malawi and Kenya, the German AIDS Foundation has been supporting two successful aid projects for many years in order to stop mother-to-child transmission of the HI virus and to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS.

In the area of research, the foundation has decided to provide scholarship funding in 2021 for the final theses of students and doctoral candidates working on the topic HIV/AIDS. In addition, the German AIDS Foundation will devote more attention to HIV research in the future.

Receive one-time support in existential need

People who find themselves in an existential emergency situation due to their HIV infection can turn to the German AIDS Foundation for one-time support. This must be an emergency situation that cannot be remedied by one-time subsidies or loan payments from the social welfare office or job center.

In this case, please contact our department for the allocation of funds and briefly describe the emergency situation. A decision can then be made.
