AktHIV.de e.V.

In the past few years, some groups have been founded outside of the official AIDS support. These groups are mostly regionally active, work on a voluntary basis and have their own focus. Our range consist from classic self-help, counseling, regulars' tables and activism, and sometimes it's a bit of everything.  What unites us is that we work and fight with our hearts and are committed to a life with HIV free from discrimination.  

On 20 September 2020, the AktHIV.de association was founded in Berlin. It represents the interests of HIV activists and regional HIV self-help networks at the federal level.

AktHIV.de e.V. is now an independent nationwide self-help network by people with HIV for people with HIV. We provide information on the topic of HIV, offer assistance at eye level, and take a stand on HIV-related aspects in all areas of life. As a self-advocacy group of people with HIV we convince with our own expertise.

One of our main concerns is the promotion of independent self-help.

All members of AktHIV.de e.V. work voluntarily and with great commitment. With their projects, they are committed to an informed, open and discrimination-free society. A valuable work deserves large appreciation. But our work often does not get it this appreciation. In addition, self-help work in self-advocacy also requires financial resources that often seep away elsewhere.

Therefore we wish for::

• More public awareness and appreciation
• Increased support for self-help 
• A say in the allocation and management of funds for independent self-help
• Ensuring that funds for self-help actually reach the self-help sector 
• Nothing about us without us
