Testing and prevention save lives!
HIV/STI testing is not just a clinical service. It is a core public health strategy and often the first doorway to prevention, care, and long-term health.
At Delaware HIV Consortium, we design services around real life. That means options that are safe, confidential, and genuinely low barrier.
What we offer
✅ Mail order HIV testing delivered discreetly to your home
✅ Access with no waiting rooms, no judgment, and no unnecessary hoops
✅ Confidential testing you can complete in your own space
✅Tele PrEP services connecting clients virtually to PrEP education, navigation, and linkage to care.
We follow a status-neutral approach. Whether a test result is negative or positive, every client is connected to prevention options, treatment, PrEP, and supportive services that meet them where they are.
Prevention works when access is simple, dignity is non-negotiable, and care fits into people’s lives, not the other way around. Public health should feel this practical.
Normalize testing. Modernize prevention. Invest in community health.

Last week, we took a moment to pause, gather, and celebrate the season together as a team. In the middle of busy schedules and serious work, it mattered to reconnect, share gratitude, and remind ourselves why we do what we do!

The holidays are about community, care, and showing up for one another. That spirit guides our work every day, and it is the same spirit behind our Gift of Care campaign.

While we were celebrating together, many in our community are facing the holidays without basic essentials. Your support helps us provide food, hygiene items, and critical resources to individuals and families who need them most.

If you are able, consider making a donation to our Gift of Care campaign and help us extend the warmth of this season beyond our walls. Donate here: http://bit.ly/3YHmdqg

'When HIV prevention is underfunded, incidence rises! And the financial impact is just as stark.'

In Delaware, the estimated lifetime cost of treating one HIV infection is $550K! Cutting prevention now only guarantees higher system-level costs later.

Delaware Public Media reporter Abigail Lee recently interviewed our Executive Director, Tyler Berl, for a candid discussion on the state of HIV in Delaware, the urgent funding landscape, and the Delaware HIV Consortium’s strategic path forward, even amid uncertainty.
This is a thoughtful and timely conversation on the future of public health in our state.

As we move closer to the holidays, we are reminded that care is not seasonal. It is essential.
Our Gift of Care campaign is still underway, and we are counting on our community to help us ensure that no Delawarean enters the winter months without the essentials they deserve.
Your support allows us to restock our pantry with non-perishable foods and hygiene items for individuals and families facing real hardship. These are not just supplies. They are stability, dignity, and a reminder that our community shows up for one another.

If you have the means to help others, consider supporting our food pantry for Delawareans living with HIV at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/delawarehivconsortium

Together, we can sustain the network of care that keeps Delaware strong.

We are excited to share our 2024 Annual Report! 💙

In 2024, DHC supported nearly 1,100 Delawareans living with or at risk for HIV, helping families stay housed, fed, supported, and connected to care. From delivering $1.28M in rental assistance to distributing 20,800 lbs of food, to navigating people to PrEP, testing, and mental health supports, our work reflects one truth: when our community shows up, lives change.

2024 was also a year of resilience. Despite reduced state prevention funding, we protected essential staff, safeguarded services, expanded access to care, and strengthened partnerships statewide.

We invite you to explore the report and see the impact you made possible!

Thank you for standing with us as we work toward zero new infections, zero stigma, and zero inequities.

The holidays are almost here, and while we’re all juggling a lot, we hope you’ll join us in something meaningful this season.

Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday immediately following Thanksgiving, a day dedicated to giving back to our community and supporting those who need it most.

We’re launching DHC’s Gift of Care campaign for Giving Tuesday, a chance to give back and help ensure our neighbors have what they need this winter. We’re raising funds to refill our pantry with non-perishable foods and essential hygiene products.

By giving to the Gift of Care, you’re offering comfort, dignity, and hope during a season when it’s needed most.

If you’re able, please consider donating and helping us keep our shelves stocked and our community supported.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
We pause to honor and remember the transgender individuals whose lives were taken by violence, discrimination, and hate. Every name represents a story, a family, and a future that should have been protected.

At DHC, we stand with our transgender community members today and every day. We remain committed to providing affirming HIV prevention services, supporting mental health and wellbeing, and advocating for safer, more inclusive communities across Delaware.

No one should live in fear for being who they are.
We uplift the voices, dignity, and rights of transgender people, and we recommit to building a world where everyone can live openly, safely, and with pride.

🕯️ We remember. We honor. We stand together.
