Since its founding in 1985, amfAR has accelerated the pace of HIV/AIDS research and contributed to numerous breakthroughs that are extending and saving lives around the world. amfAR identies critical gaps in our knowledge of HIV/AIDS and supports promising early-stage studies that often lack the preliminary data required by more traditional funders. Through its Research program, amfAR is advancing efforts to prevent HIV infection in those who are vulnerable and to improve treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS, with the ultimate goal of eradicating the virus. amfAR’s TREAT Asia program is a network of clinics, hospitals, and research institutions working with civil society to ensure the safe and effective delivery of HIV/AIDS treatments throughout Asia and the Pacic. TREAT Asia has become a model for regional collaboration on treatment preparedness, education, training, and clinical research. The GMT Initiative strives to reduce worldwide rates of HIV infection among gay men, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender individuals (collectively GMT) in developing countries by
