Overview

Mission

Founded in 1989, HIV law project fights for the rights of the most underserved people living with HIV and AIDS. HIV law project believes that all people deserve the same rights, including the right to live with dignity and respect the right to be treated as equal members of society and the right to have their basic human needs fulfilled. These fundamental rights are often elusive for many people living with HIV/AIDS. Through innovative legal and advocacy programs, HIV law project partners with clients to fight for those rights.

What it reported doing in 2024

The program handles individual legal matters in a wide range of areas, including housing and eviction prevention, immigration law, public and private benefits and health insurance issues, discrimination, and HIV-related confidentiality issues. HIV law project handles approximately 275-300 new client matters (advice, representation, and/or referrals) each year.
