1 from crisis to wisdom HIV is a disease that thrives in darkness. In For 27 years, GMHC has born witness to HIV silence. In apathy. It thrives when connections from its frontlines. And in those 27 years, remain unseen—when the links between we’ve charted a pandemic that changes con- individuals and communities…between social tinuously and profoundly. Its demographics lives and sexual lives remain broken and have changed. Its challenges have changed. unknown. Its treatments have changed. In fact, the only thing about HIV that hasn’t changed is that GMHC’s mission is the building of those con- prevention is the key to ending its growth. nections. The leverage of those connections. Their use and their translation into action. And GMHC develops the programs, strategies, in this web of connections there is a single tactics, and education initiatives that will one truth…a place where all points meet that day win both the daily battles of individuals empowers our work: prevention. living with HIV and the struggles to reduce infections. We do it every day. We do it from HIV’s frontlines. And we do it with your help.

2 n At the core of everything we do is prevention. This year, we increased testing by 33%, a major victory in our fight to protect populations at disproportionately high risk. n Our social marketing campaigns have penetrated and reached some of the most elusive yet most at-risk populations in City, especially young women of color, men who have sex with men, senior members of our communities, and parents of at-risk youth. n And while knowing how far we’ve come heartens us, know- ing how much longer this epidemic will continue steels our resolve. That’s why we collaborated with our clients, our staff, our volunteers, and our board to develop GMHC’s stra- tegic plan for the next five years. This plan is a major step toward the realization of our mission through prevention- focused care services. And, with a fully integrated service model, we’re also better able to evaluate those services’ efficacy. Our ultimate goal of eliminating structural barriers that lead to HIV infection is now within our reach. While the value of a cogent strategic plan, an increase in testing by a third, and effective, catalyzing marketing pro- grams are self-evident, the need for relentless vigilance and swift action was made ever more obvious by the shocking statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC): actual new HIV infections were 40% higher from crisis to wisdom annually than estimated in 2006. To our friends, our supporters, and our partners in the While we’ve always known that HIV can infect anyone; fight against AIDS: who it will actually infect is no matter of chance.

Some people say the best way to handle A comprehensive, effective strategy to deal with a crisis like HIV is from the top down: the AIDS crisis in the U.S. is a social, moral, and political imperative.

4 In an election year, stump speeches are easy to come by. What isn’t, however, is where candidates stand on the issues that matter to communities affected by HIV. At no point in U.S. history has this been more pressing than in the past year, with an election that placed the lives and rights of our communities in the balance. That’s why we invested countless hours of research and writing into Where Do They Stand?— a comprehensive guide to the presidential candidates’ positions on HIV/AIDS, gay rights, and sex education released in December 2007. An updated report also examining vice presidential running mates’ records on AIDS was released in September 2008. By empowering voters with meticulously researched information, we helped ensure that our voices were heard in this most critical election. from education to legislation National AIDS Strategy Candidate Profile Guide Immigration Reform

Since 1987, the U.S. has shamefully banned individuals living with HIV from visiting and immigrating. Many of their home countries don’t have access to life-saving medications. But as immigrants and visitors, they have no way of getting basic services and protections here, either. It’s a Catch-22 that puts millions at risk and undermines public health.

7 The House and Ball culture is a vibrant, creative part of our community. But its constituents— mostly young men of color who have sex with men—are among the most at-risk and under- served. In response, GMHC brought HIV prevention and education directly to them through the House of Latex Project with counseling, outreach, HIV testing, and social support. The program’s center- piece, the House of Latex Ball, draws over 4,000 attendees each year and provides on-site HIV testing and counseling for over 100 young adults.

No one can describe the positive impact of GMHC’s programs better than our clients. What we do is important. But whom we help is paramount. After being disabled in an industrial accident, becoming HIV positive, and losing three family members in as many months, Alan Perez turned to GMHC for help. Here, he transformed from a man in need into an activist, advocate, and community leader. Kevin Beauchamp lost a lot to HIV. He lost his health to it, his vision, and even his partner, who passed away in 1993. Kevin thought his life was lost, too. GMHC was there for him. And today, he saves lives himself as one of our finest Hotline counselors and enduring volunteers. Homeless. Addicted. HIV positive. Delayna Garrett’s story is both tragic and common: a case of a community failing its women. She came to GMHC lost, broken, and out of options.
