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].
