Health GAP could not do this work alone. In our work to mobilize grassroots demand for investment in the global HIV response and access to affordable medicines, we regularly collaborate with other grassroots groups comprised of people living with HIV, youth, LGBTI people, people who use drugs and others affected by HIV. Key allies in this work include ACT UP New York, ACT UP Philly, Housing Works, Treatment Action Group, and VOCAL-NY. Health GAP also houses the youth-led Student Global AIDS Campaign and works closely with other student groups around the country, including the American Medical Students Association, Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, and Partners in Health Engage.
In our efforts to advance effective policy solutions to the global AIDS crisis in the halls of power in Washington, D.C., Health GAP collaborates with key AIDS and global health organizations based in the U.S.. Central allies in this work include amfAR, AVAC, Infectious Diseases Society of America, RESULTS, Friends of the Global Fight, AIDS United, Public Citizen, the Global Forum on MSM, and RESULTS.
