Overview

Mission

Akeso's mission is to commit to being a committed continued resource to the community and its members who are in need, we commit to empowering our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Akeso provides exceptional medical care for all individuals living with HIV, regardless of their ability to pay. We are committed to providing comprehensive care, prioritizing the holistic well-being and empowerment of every individual we serve. Our services include: lgbtq+ primary care; HIV specialty care; transgender care; std treatments; HIV and sti testing, screening, and treatment; prep and pep; sexual health; and endothelial testing. The following are ways that akeso was actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS during 2024: accessible care: we provided comprehensive and compassionate care for all individuals living with HIV, regardless of their ability to pay. We served 1,124 non-duplicated patients in 2024. Most of these patients were seen several times throughout the year as prep/HIV patients are generally seen every three months. Prep & pep: we offered prep and pep to qualified patients, helping prevent new infections. We are dedicated to ending the HIV epidemic through the widespread adoption of pre-exposure prophylaxis (prep) and the attainment of undetectable HIV status among affected individuals. By promoting access to prep as a powerful preventive measure and supporting those living with HIV to achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load, we aim to drastically reduce new HIV infections and improve the health outcomes of those affected by the virus. Sti screenings: we provided free sti screenings and treatment for uninsured and underinsured patients. Education and counseling: our team provided education and counseling services to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Community engagement: we collaborated with local communities to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote testing.

Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict
