The founders were a group of volunteers from different backgrounds dedicated to improving the living standards for people living with HIV and stopping the spread of HIV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_elementToProof\">We strongly believe that the key to effectively stop the spread of HIV is establishing close communication with communities most vulnerable to transmission and exposure. One of the biggest challenges to our mission is the social stigma and discrimination facing people living with HIV, which directly affects their treatments and quality of life. Hence, we invest our resources into providing public health education and awareness programmes to create a more inclusive society by eliminating misunderstandings about HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n<p>We strive to serve our society with affirmative and evidence-based practices so that everyone has a fair opportunity to attain their optimal level of sexual and mental health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1716196182349{background-color: #000000 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"simple-grid-5411\" class=\"vntd-grid vntd-simple-grid simple-grid-boxed grid-cols-3 img-hover-effect-zoom caption-align-left vntd-with-arrow\"><div class=\"simple-grid-items container\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row\"><div class=\"item simple-grid-item vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"simple-grid-image simple-grid-boxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/help-and-support\/know-more-about-hiv\/\" title=\"Know More About HIV\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/aidsconcern.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/grid-about-know-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" alt=\"grid-about-know\" title=\"grid-about-know\" \/><h5 class=\"simple-grid-title\">Know More About HIV<\/h5><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item simple-grid-item vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"simple-grid-image simple-grid-boxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/help-and-support\/prevention\/\" title=\"Prevention Methods\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/aidsconcern.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/grid-test-intro-600x420.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" alt=\"grid-test-intro\" title=\"grid-test-intro\" \/><h5 class=\"simple-grid-title\">Prevention Methods<\/h5><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item simple-grid-item vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"simple-grid-image simple-grid-boxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/help-and-support\/suspected-to-be-hiv-infected\/\" title=\"Suspected to be Infected?\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/aidsconcern.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/grid-people-living-with-hiv-600x420.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" alt=\"grid-people-living-with-hiv\" title=\"grid-people-living-with-hiv\" \/><h5 class=\"simple-grid-title\">Suspected to be Infected?<\/h5><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row\"><div class=\"item simple-grid-item vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"simple-grid-image simple-grid-boxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/help-and-support\/people-living-with-hiv\/\" title=\"Living with HIV\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/aidsconcern.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/grid-prevention-600x420.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" alt=\"grid-prevention\" title=\"grid-prevention\" \/><h5 class=\"simple-grid-title\">Living with HIV<\/h5><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item simple-grid-item vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"simple-grid-image simple-grid-boxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/help-and-support\/family-and-friends\/\" title=\"Family and Friends of those living with HIV\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/aidsconcern.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/grid-family-and-friends-600x420.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" alt=\"grid-family-and-friends\" title=\"grid-family-and-friends\" \/><h5 class=\"simple-grid-title\">Family and Friends of those living with HIV<\/h5><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] AIDS Concern is a leading health charity specializing in HIV\/AIDS response, community health and inclusion for people of diverse sexualities and genders.
