About Us—Overview
In 1981 our founder and President, Arthur J. Ammann, MD, described two of the three ways that HIV is transmitted, as a result of caring for infants with what appeared to be a new immunodeficiency disorder called AIDS. This disorder, caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), took millions of lives worldwide. Global Strategies for HIV Prevention was founded to address the inequity of HIV prevention services provided around the world.
Global Strategies for HIV Prevention has been working internationally since 1999 to save the lives and alleviate the suffering of women and children through HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Our collaborative programs are established in conflict and post-conflict areas through the guidance of national leaders working on the ground. Working along side our partners we currently provide services in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, and Zimbabwe.
Mission
