  • PUBLIC POLICY ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC IN THE U.S.THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AMFAR WORKED CLOSELY WITH MEMBERS OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE CDC, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TO PROMOTE AN EVIDENCED-BASED RESPONSE TO THE U.S. HIV EPIDEMIC AND DISCUSS POLICY INITIATIVES. AMFAR FOCUSED MUCH OF ITS EFFORTS ON KEEPING DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL HIV FUNDING ON TRACK AND CONTINUING ITS DATA-DRIVEN ADVOCACY OF RATIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE HIV/AIDS-RELATED PUBLIC POLICY, WHILE ENGAGING IN EFFORTS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND CARE FOR MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS; PROMOTE WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCH; INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGY INTO HEALTHCARE DELIVERY, POLICY, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION; AND PROTECT THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE AFFECTED BY OR VULNERABLE TO HIV/AIDS. AT CROI 2024, STAFF PRESENTED AN ABSTRACT ON THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF TITLE X FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM FUNDING RESTRICTIONS ON HIV TESTING AND DIAGNOSES. THE STUDY FOUND AN OVERALL DECLINE IN REGIONAL HIV TESTING FROM BEFORE AND AFTER THE FEDERAL REGULATION WAS INSTITUTED, LIKELY RELATED TO BOTH THE NEW RESTRICTIONS AND COVID-19. HOWEVER, THE DECLINE IN OVERALL REGIONAL HIV TESTING WAS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER IN REGIONS HIGHLY IMPACTED BY THE FEDERAL REGULATION, SUPPORTING THE THEORY THAT THE FEDERAL REGULATION DROVE THE REDUCTION IN REGIONAL HIV TESTING AT TITLE X SITES BEYOND TRENDS RELATED TO COVID-19.ENSURING GLOBAL HEALTH ACCESSAMFAR MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN GLOBAL ADVOCACY AND POLICY INITIATIVES, AND POLICY STAFF PARTICIPATE IN PEPFAR COUNTRY OPERATIONAL PLAN MEETINGS, THE GLOBAL FUND PARTNERSHIP FORUM, AND THE UN HIGH-LEVEL MEETINGS ON HIV/AIDS.

AMFAR PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS PRESENTATIONS AND PANELS AT MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. STAFF DELIVERED PRESENTATIONS AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AIDS AND STIS IN AFRICA IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE, IN DECEMBER 2023. AT THE 25TH INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE, AMFAR SUBMITTED SEVEN ABSTRACTS COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS HIV-FOCUSED IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND COMMUNITY-LED MONITORING. AMFAR PUBLISHED A NEW POLICY BRIEF, DUAL EPIDEMICS: LEVERAGING HIV INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT HPV PREVENTION, TESTING, AND CERVICAL CANCER ELIMINATION GOALS, THAT EXAMINES HOW HIV AND HPV INTERSECT AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT WOMEN'S HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND HOW SERVICE DELIVERY FOR BOTH COULD BE INTEGRATED. THE BRIEF DESCRIBES DIFFERENT SERVICE INTEGRATION MODELS THAT RANGE FROM TRAINING EXISTING CLINIC STAFF TO ENGAGING BROAD REFERRAL NETWORKS, ALL OF WHICH ARE TAILORED TO THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF WOMEN LIVING WITH HIV. IT ALSO OFFERS CONCRETE RECOMMENDATIONS TO EXPAND PRIMARY PREVENTION WITH ART COVERAGE AND HPV VACCINATION, INCREASE ACCESS TO CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING AND TREATMENT TOOLS, ENHANCE DATA AVAILABILITY, BUILD MULTI-SECTORAL PARTNERSHIPS, AND MAXIMIZE TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS.IN ADDITION, AMFAR'S POLICY TEAM CO-HOSTED A WEBINAR, ADVANCING GLOBAL HEALTH EQUITY: INVESTING IN INTEGRATED HIV, HPV, AND CERVICAL CANCER INITIATIVES, WITH FUNDERS CONCERNED ABOUT AIDS TO EDUCATE HIV DONORS ON OPPORTUNITIES TO INTEGRATE PROGRAMS ON THESE DISEASES.EMPOWERMENT THROUGH DATAAMFAR IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF DATA COLLECTION FOR ADVOCACY PURPOSES, FORTIFYING PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSES WITH ACCURATE INFORMATION.

THE RISE (REPRESENTATION, INCLUSION, SUSTAINABILITY, AND EQUITY) STUDY IS AN INDEPENDENT, COMMUNITY-OWNED RESEARCH PROJECT CO-SPONSORED BY AMFAR THAT EXAMINES THE GRANTMAKING PROCESSES OF THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT TB, MALARIA AND AIDS. STUDY AUTHORS CONDUCTED A SURVEY AS WELL AS IN-DEPTH INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS WITH OVER 650 ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS FROM 83 COUNTRIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 4B
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, KEVIN FROST, PARTICIPATED IN A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023, AMFAR CONTRIBUTED $36,914 INTO MR. FROST'S NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. THIS AMOUNT IS NOT REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C) BECAUSE THE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO MR. FROST WITHIN THE SAME CALENDAR YEAR.
