As the world’s first HIV/AIDS service organization, GMHC is working to end the AIDS epidemic and uplift the lives of all affected.
We serve approximately 10,000 people each year living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in Manhattan and the five boroughs of New York City. Over 60 percent of our clients are people of color, nearly 75 percent identify as LGBTQ+, and over 80 percent are people living at or below the Federal Poverty Line.
We address the social determinants of health that continue to fuel HIV infection rates and prevent people from accessing care and treatment. They include food and housing insecurity, unemployment, and lack of access to health services, among others. We also advocate for fair and effective HIV/AIDS policies at the local, state, and federal levels. All of our programs are driven by our clients themselves who are represented through our Consumer Advisory Board. Read Less
