AIDS Concern will lead social change by individuals, organisations and society to meet our strategic priorities, to stop the spread of HIV\/AIDS and eliminate stigma for people living with HIV.<\/p>\n

The highest risk groups for transmission of HIV which we will focus our services on are:
\n\u2022 People living with HIV (those who know they are HIV positive and those who do not know)
\n\u2022 Men who have sex with men
\n\u2022 Heterosexual men with multiple sex partners
\n\u2022 Youth at risk for HIV infection
\n\u2022 Ethnic minorities
\nWe will approach the groups at risk for HIV infection through outreach, workshops, and peer-counselling to provide them with free HIV\/AIDS education and testing services. We will also promote the importance of safer sex among the at risk communities and strengthen their knowledge regarding sexual health in order to reduce their risk of HIV infection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We will provide information and support to people living with HIV, including counselling, home visits and \u201cRide Concern\u201d transportation services. We will also equip people newly diagnosed with HIV and their families with practical HIV\/AIDS knowledge, while extend the coverage of HIV testing for people at highest risk of HIV.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, we dedicate ourselves to promote public education, reduce stigma and discrimination in order to create a more supportive social environment for people living with HIV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We will work to build the capacity of other people and organisations to deliver HIV education, testing and support through collaborations and partnerships to ensure the accessibility to HIV treatment.<\/p>\n
We will also work with individuals and organisations to respond to HIV\/AIDS issues and to pay close attention to sexual health issues in Hong Kong, hoping to achieve UVL for people newly diagnosed with HIV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Advocacy to improve access to HIV prevention and care” tab_id=”1516819540228-f8d1f21a-7760″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
We will work closely with the government, local and international organisations to advocate on HIV\/AIDS-related issues and policies. We will encourage the public, media and the government to respond with action. We aim to create a supportive environment that reduces the risk of HIV infection and the stigma for people affected by HIV.<\/p>\n
Four areas we will particularly focus on are:
\n\u2022 Safeguarding the rights of people living with HIV
\n\u2022 Safeguarding the legal rights of the sexual minorities
\n\u2022 Promoting comprehensive sexuality education for young people
\n\u2022 Promoting male sexual health<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
