Decades of research, including amfAR-funded studies, have produced extremely effective treatments for HIV/AIDS. When taken as directed, antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to undetectable levels and enable the body’s immune cells to rebound to normal levels. The number of AIDS-related deaths in the U.S. has dropped dramatically because of widely available, effective treatments. However, even when people respond well to ART, it does not cure HIV. And while today’s ART can dramatically improve the health and well-being of people living with HIV, they may still face long-term side effects from treatment, such as heart disease and other disorders.

Here’s the moment amfAR’s CEO Kyle Clifford and Director of Research Dr. Andrea Gramatica notified Drs. Delphine Depierreux, Ebony Gary, and Shalini Singh that they have won a Mathilde Krim Fellowship in Biomedical Research. The Krim fellowship is a highly competitive grant that provides early career scientists with crucial support as they transition into independent research positions.

Our CEO, Kyle Clifford, visited our TREAT Asia office in Bangkok, Thailand, earlier this month to connect with the team driving HIV treatment and prevention access and research across the Asia-Pacific region. TREAT Asia is a collaborative network of clinics, hospitals, and community partners responding to HIV through research, education, and policy advocacy. It links 21 adult and 18 pediatric clinical sites across 12 countries to strengthen health outcomes for people living with and at risk for HIV.

amfAR deeply mourns the passing of Asal Sayas, our beloved colleague, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. As Director of Government Affairs, in amfAR’s Public Policy Office, as well as previous roles on Capitol Hill and at the White House, Asal worked tirelessly to ensure that public health policies informed by the best scientific evidence centered the experiences of those communities most affected by a variety of conditions. Her determination to create meaningful change for people living with HIV, cancer, hepatitis and other health challenges will be greatly missed. Her absence will be felt by many.

Our hearts go out to her loved ones.

If you have HIV and another STI, you are more likely to transmit the virus through sex. An HIV-negative person with another STI is at least two to five times more likely to get HIV through sexual contact than someone without an STI. STIs that create breaks in the skin or mucous membranes, for example, make it easier for HIV to enter or exit the body. 
 
Also, STIs that cause inflammation in the genital tract attract immune cells for HIV to target, increasing the risk of getting HIV.

This just in! @honeydijon will be bringing her signature blend of house, disco, and techno to the DJ booth for next month’s #amfARCannes after party.

Although now London based, Honey Dijon draws on the club culture she explored during her formative years in Chicago and New York, and has become a defining force in global dance music, seamlessly bridging underground culture to the world’s most prestigious stages. Having collaborated with and remixed for icons including Beyoncé, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Dua Lipa—while also shaping the sound of leading fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Dior—she continues to push boundaries with fearless creativity and joy.

We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor, @honeydijon .

amfAR analysis of new data from PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, showed a 33% drop in access to PrEP services and a 23% drop in new initiations of HIV medication in 2025. In particular, hundreds of thousands of people we'd expect to see starting treatment have simply gone missing, due to disruptions in service delivery last year. About 24% of the frontline health care workers are no longer performing the work they used to do.
The result: missing new diagnoses and failing to prevent new infections that will lead to an eventual resurgence of HIV.
