SIGNATURE SPONSOR

amfar


amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, is one of the world’s leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of sound AIDS related public policy. Since 1985, amfAR has invested more than $450 million in its programs and has awarded more than 3,300 grants to research teams worldwide.

Among many accomplishments, amfAR supported early studies that led to the development of four of the six main classes of anti-HIV drugs that allow people living with HIV/AIDS to live longer, healthier lives, and amfAR pioneered the research that led to the use of antiretroviral drugs to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Today amfAR’s research focus is on the search for a cure for HIV/AIDS.  Following the establishment of the amfAR Research Consortium on HIV Eradication (ARCHE) in 2010, amfAR launched the Countdown to a Cure for AIDS initiative.  Backed by a $100 million research investment strategy, the Countdown is aimed at developing the scientific basis for a cure by 2020.
