We're thrilled to share highlights from our 3rd Annual Coalition Meeting in Washington, D.C., where we came together to celebrate extraordinary progress, honor exceptional leadership, and chart our path forward for 2026.
This month's newsletter captures the energy and impact of that week — from Capitol Hill visits and our World AIDS Day Reception to the release of our 2025 Impact Report and forward-looking discussions on the innovations that will help us end the epidemic.
You'll also find inspiring examples of member action leading up to World AIDS Day, opportunities to engage your workplace through our employer toolkit, and a Q&A with Matthew Bare at Curant Health on what it takes to deliver equitable, patient-centered HIV care.
We're grateful for the dedication, innovation, and collaboration that define this Coalition. The momentum is extraordinary, and it's only growing stronger.
Welcome New Members:
We were so pleased to host our 3rd Annual Coalition Convening last week in Washington, D.C., bringing together corporate members, policymakers, HIV experts, and community leaders to celebrate this year's progress and spotlight the growing leadership of the business community in ending the HIV epidemic.
On Wednesday, Nov. 19, Coalition members from Alchemy, B Brand, Gilead Sciences, KNU Health, Match Group, Mercer, MISTR, and ViiV Healthcare met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to emphasize the importance of sustained federal funding for HIV initiatives. Businesses have a powerful voice in protecting progress, and it was exciting to see that leadership in action.
That evening, we hosted our third annual World AIDS Day Reception, celebrating cross-sector leadership in the fight to end HIV.
We recognized 15 companies that completed all six membership actions this year with the 2025 Action Award, including: Alchemy, Avita Care Solutions, Chevron, Curant Health, CVS Health, Gilead Sciences, Healthvana, IHDLab, Match Group, Mercer, MISTR, RADcube, Theratechnologies, ViiV Healthcare, and Walgreens. Learn more about their impact here.
We also honored three outstanding partners whose leadership is accelerating progress across the HIV response:
Thursday, Nov. 20, featured our Annual Coalition Meeting, the release of our 2025 Impact Report, and forward-looking discussions with the National Institutes of Health and Coalition members on big ideas that can shape how we can end the epidemic — from expanded PrEP and treatment options to AI innovation, pharmacy-based care, and powerful storytelling. In issue-specific breakout sessions, members helped chart our shared roadmap for 2026.
The energy, innovation, and collaboration this week were extraordinary! Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed time, ideas, and leadership. And congratulations again to all of the award recipients! The private sector's role in ending the HIV epidemic has never been more critical, or more inspiring.

Curant Health
One of Curant Health's most meaningful innovations is our patient-centered Medication Care Management™ model, which leverages personalized care plans, proactive adherence monitoring, and strong provider collaboration to support people living with HIV. Our approach integrates real-time clinical insights with high-touch support from dedicated care teams, allowing us to intervene early, resolve barriers before they escalate, and help patients achieve and sustain viral suppression. This model transforms pharmacy care from simply dispensing medication to actively improving health outcomes.
We've learned that trust, consistency, and culturally sensitive support are foundational to equitable care. Many underserved patients experience fragmented systems, stigma, or limited access to reliable healthcare. By meeting patients where they are, we have helped close critical gaps. Equity requires designing care that adapts to patients' needs, not expecting patients to adapt to the system. By working closely with community partners and providers, we have created practical, patient-centered solutions that improve continuity of care and support long-term adherence.
The most common barrier we see and hear from our partners includes inconsistent funding, varying payer requirements, and geographic disparities in access to specialized care. Scalable solutions require expanding partnerships with community providers, leveraging digital tools to connect with patients in remote or underserved regions, and streamlining administrative processes so the focus is on patients and their care.
