We provide independent, accurate and accessible information about HIV – from the latest scientific research to trusted resources for people living with HIV.
In 2025, aidsmap became part of Terrence Higgins Trust, an HIV charity based in the United Kingdom. Under this new stewardship, we continue to build on nearly four decades of trusted HIV information.
aidsmap's mission, vision and principles
Our mission
aidsmap provides independent, accurate and accessible information about HIV.
Our vision
A world where HIV is no longer a threat to health or happiness.
Our principles
- Independent, accurate and accessible information is vital in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
- Knowledge empowers and equips people to manage their health.
- Knowledge enables advocates, campaigners and communities to take action on health.
- The information we provide should help our audiences effect change in their own lives, their work or their communities.
- Reducing HIV stigma removes barriers to testing and treatment.
- Social inequalities must be addressed to deliver health equality.
- We strive to serve individuals, communities and providers across the world, recognising that needs and culture differ
Maintaining high standards
We are committed to ensuring the information we produce is:
- Accurate
- Accessible
- Clearly communicated
- Evidence-based
- Independent
- Up to date
- Relevant
- Rooted in the experiences of those most affected by HIV.
We work with medical review panels, who review our resources to ensure our standards are being met, and peer review panels, so that people with HIV are able to contribute their expertise and share their experiences.
Your feedback and input really do make a difference. If you would like to comment on any of aidsmap's resources (for example, information that has been effective or valuable; feedback that would be useful for revising work; comments on new themes/information needed; any inaccuracies) please contact us.
