AHF has embarked on a mass testing initiative to identify and treat the 25 million people worldwide who don’t know they are infected. It will take 1 billion tests annually to achieve this goal. AHF is advocating for mass testing models in hopes of eliminating older, more time-consuming methods. Since 1987, AHF has cared for thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. As AHF creates and implements its unparalleled programs in new communities in the U.S. and abroad, they expand delivery of healthcare and influence over policy with the sole aim of saving more lives.
