Medical advancements have given people living with HIV the opportunity to lead longer, healthier lives. That’s an amazing result for sure. But many people who are long-term survivors of the HIV epidemic have found themselves facing something they never thought they’d have to: Aging.

Today, more than half of people living with HIV are age 50 or older. They’re not only facing the normal medical hallmarks of aging, but also may experience isolation 

and stigma of living with HIV, uncertainty around housing and finances, and depression from seeing a generation of their friends die.

APLA Health created the HIVE program (HIV-Elders) to improve the health and well-being of this growing population of survivors. HIVE engages the 50+ population with discussion groups, life skills support, health education and more services to build a stronger community.

Help raise funds for HIVE and APLA Health’s many other Support programs that help underserved groups erase stigma and improve outcomes.
This year, it is a sprint to the Finish Line.

Our new Fundraising Deadline this year is Sunday, September 13th. Since we have an exciting, faster challenge for fundraising this year, we are asking all of our team leaders, Star Walkers, allies, and anyone who can lend us their voice to get moving sooner than usual.


Reach out to our AIDS Walk Staff! Don’t wait to ask your team members to register! Don’t wait to turn in your Matching Grants! We hope having a shorter event this year will be less stressful for you overall, but we still have a lot of work to do between now and September 13th, and we could really use your help!

Dr. Jerome de Vente, Chief Medical Officer, APLA Health

COVID-19 has been an evolving challenge for all here at APLA Health and certainly adds a layer of stress to everything we do. We are fortunate to be in a position to help when we are needed most.


There are special challenges in the health care field as we try to balance the safety of our staff and patients with the need to provide important medical

services to our community. While we won’t be able to gather in person for this year’s AIDS Walk Los Angeles, we’re all committed to being online for our community and at our six health centers for those who need our essential medical, dental and behavioral health services and HIV specialty care.
