About Us

The United States People Living with HIV Caucus (also known as the HIV Caucus), was formed in 2010 as a national voice for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Our members are PLHIV-led groups, organizations and networks, as well as individual advocates living with HIV.

Mission

Through our members, the HIV Caucus represents communities most impacted by the epidemic in the United States. From our embodied and lived experience, we understand HIV-related stigma, discrimination, and structural conditions -- including racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and poverty -- in direct ways.

Our Work

The HIV Caucus advocates for human rights and dignity for people living with HIV. We provide leadership development and technical assistance to people living with HIV & HIV service organizations. The HIV Caucus co-organizes AIDSWatch, the annual HIV advocacy event that brings together hundreds of PLHIV and allies from around the country to engage with Congress and federal agencies.
