Uniting voices to stop aids
We are a HIV, health and human rights network that advocates to secure vital funding and transform global health systems to end AIDS and achieve health equity for all.
Working together to STOPAIDS and build a fairer, healthier world for everyone
Through policy change, solidarity and shared action
IMPACT
Securing Funding for the Global HIV response
For years, STOPAIDS have successfully advocated for increased funding to the most impactful global health and HIV organisations globally, ensuring the sustainability of vital investment that save lives . For example, we have successfully influenced the UK Government to increase funding to the Robert Carr Fund over three funding cycles.
Community Representation in Global Health Governance
STOPAIDS have secured a seat at the table for civil society and community representatives on decision making boards and groups across global health organisations. For example, we secured, selected and supported 47 civil society and community representatives for ACT-A, the partnership which develops tools to fight Covid-19.
Access to Medicines and Prioritising People
STOPAIDS have enabled communities affected by HIV to influence the global ecosystem that supplies HIV drugs and other medicines to those who can’t afford them. We have connected UK political decision-makers directly to those most affected by their decisions, represented civil society and communities on international boards concerned with access to medicines and helped international organisations work in partnership with Global South civil society to introduce new drugs or vaccines. Better representation has shaped a new narrative around which medications should be prioritised and how they should be delivered.

Unique Approach
A global network, working in solidarity
Our work is guided by a commitment to shift power, strengthen civil society and ensure decisions about HIV and global health are shaped by the people most affected.
Collaborative Advocacy
We work alongside civil society, community leaders and partners around the world to influence decisions that affect people’s health and rights. By amplifying lived experience and building collective power, we ensure policies and funding decisions reflect the realities of those most impacted by HIV and health inequities.
Thought Leadership
Grounded in our anti-oppression framework and generated in conversation and collaboration with our partners and members, we collect and share evidence, insights and new ideas that challenge the dominant narratives of international development and seek to reshape the global health system to be more accountable, democratic and collaborative.
Convening
As a collaborative network organisation, we bring together diverse civil society and community organisations across sectors and regions to align priorities and drive collective action. This allows us to work with a united voice and to share strategies and information so that we can more effectively influence change and make impact.
