After fighting cuts to HIV care in Florida, AHF has lost $3.5 million in state contracts.

These programs provided HIV testing, STI treatment, housing support, and care navigation for communities across the state.

Was this retaliation for speaking out and taking legal action to protect patients?

If true, this raises serious questions about what happens when healthcare advocacy is met with consequences.

This isn’t just about contracts.
It’s about access to care.
It’s about public health.

Did you know young people ages 13–24 accounted for 19% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2022? In honor of National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we’re recognizing Miley Cyrus for using her platform to speak out for vulnerable youth and raise awareness around HIV.

At the amfAR Inspiration Gala in New York, Miley was honored for her contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through the Happy Hippie Foundation, which she founded in 2014, she has continued to support homeless youth, LGBTQ+ youth, and other vulnerable populations.

Today is a reminder that young people deserve accurate s*x education, access to testing, and non-judgmental support. Together, we can help build a future where all young people have the information and access to care they need to stay healthy.

As we approach National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we’re highlighting the loopholes that still leave too many young people without the information they need. While no federal s*x ed laws exist, many states require some form of s*xual education. But a recent review found that only 19 states require it to be medically accurate.

And the stakes are incredibly high. In 2022, youth ages 13–24 accounted for 19% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., and about 44% of young people with HIV do not know their status. Today is a reminder that young people deserve accurate education, access to testing, and non-judgmental support. Together, we can help build a future where all young people have the information and access to care they need to stay healthy.

When people living with HIV have access to medication and reach an undetectable viral load, they cannot pass HIV through s*x.

But around the world, too many people still don’t have the testing, treatment, or support they need to get there. That’s why AHF partners with clinics and communities around the globe to make sure more people can access lifesaving HIV treatment and reach an undetectable status.

You may have noticed something new. We’re now .

Because what we do has always been bigger than one thing. It’s about care, community, and showing up when it matters most.

Different infections need different protection. 🧠✨

DoxyPEP helps prevent bacterial STIs — like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis — but not HIV. For HIV prevention, PrEP (before exposure) and PEP (after exposure) are your best tools.

💬 Talk to your healthcare provider to find the right prevention combo for you.

A powerful image of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus shows how the 1980s HIV epidemic devastated the gay community. The singers in white represent the remaining living members of the original chorus, while those in black represent those lost to AIDS. By 1996, the obituary list was 47 names longer than the chorus roster. ⁠

This decision puts LGBTQ+ youth at risk.

By overturning protections against conversion therapy, the Supreme Court has opened the door to practices that major medical experts have long rejected as harmful.

This isn’t about free speech. It’s about protecting young people.

Conversion therapy is not care. It’s harm.

AHF stands with Impulse Group and LGBTQ+ communities everywhere in calling for leaders to step up, protect youth, and defend affirming, evidence-based care.
