HIV Network of Edmonton Society
Overview
The HIV Network of Edmonton Society, commonly known as HIV Edmonton, is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals living with or affected by HIV and AIDS. The organization focuses on eliminating HIV transmission and AIDS-related deaths while addressing stigma and discrimination faced by those impacted by the disease[1][2].
History
HIV Edmonton was originally founded as the AIDS Network of Edmonton in response to the AIDS outbreak in the early 1980s. The name was later changed to HIV Edmonton in 1999 to reflect advancements in the field of HIV and AIDS[4][5].
Mission and Activities
HIV Edmonton's mission is to champion health equity, gender equity, and justice for people living with or affected by HIV and AIDS. The organization achieves this by developing educational resources, delivering prevention and health promotion programs, and advocating for policy changes in partnership with local, provincial, and national organizations[2][3].
HIV Edmonton offers a range of support services, including counseling, referrals, support groups, preventive education programs, and a resource center. Additionally, the organization engages in public awareness and advocacy work through initiatives like the Gay Men’s Outreach Crew (GMOC)[3].
Values
HIV Edmonton emphasizes values such as compassion, respect, honesty, and integrity. The organization strives to create a welcoming environment for all clients and honors the diversity and generosity of its community. It also promotes U=U (Undetectable equals Untransmittable), emphasizing that individuals with HIV who achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit the virus[4].
Impact
The organization's work has been pivotal in shaping Edmonton's response to HIV and AIDS, particularly in promoting community resilience and solidarity during challenging times[5].

On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, HIV Edmonton will join millions around the world for Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to generosity, kindness, and the power of community. At its heart, Giving Tuesday is about showing up for others, whether that means donating, volunteering, spreading awareness, or simply offering a helping hand. It’s a reminder that everyone has something to give, and every act of generosity makes a difference. This year, our goal is to raise vital funds to support our unfunded community programs, including the Ross Armstrong Drop-In Centre, Collective Kitchen, Monthly Food Hampers, Summer Gardening, Festive Feast, Paint & Create, and more, all designed to meet the diverse needs of our community members. Will you join us by making your Giving Tuesday pledge today? You might be surprised by how far your gift can go. A $20 donation can help meet the basic needs of one community member. Together, we can make this Giving Tuesday a celebration of compassion and connection, right here at home. Click the ‘Pledge’ Link in our bio to make your Giving Tuesday pledge. However, if you’d like to give right away, use the ‘Donate’ Link in our bio to make your donation now and receive an instant charitable tax receipt. #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesdayCanada #GivingTuesdayYEG #Yeglocal #Yegdowntown #Alberta # #Albertagiving #HIVEdmonton #YEGCommunity #SupportLocalYEG #Yegdt #EndTheStigma #YEGCares #AlbertaCares #YEGGivesBack #HIVAIDSAwareness #Edmontonliving #Edmontondowntown #HIVAIDSCanada #igyeg #Yegliving #Yeggers #yegwave #urbanyeg #yegfood #edmonton #exploreedmonton (fb)
