About Project Inform

Project Inform was founded in 1985 to promote the ideas that people with HIV/AIDS should be thoroughlyempowered and educated in order to make sound decisions about their healthcare and be actively consulted in the process of developing treatments for HIV infection. Equally as important, over the past 4 years, they have included hepatitis C care and treatment issues in their advocacy portfolio.

Project Inform is staffed by independent advocates widely respected for having helped speed dozens of safe andeffective HIV medications to market. Hundreds of thousands of individuals have learned aboutHIV and HCV care and treatment from Project Inform. Through their 26-year history, they’ve ensured adequate government funding for health care programs including Ryan White and ADAP that serve the sickest and poorest people with HIV and/or HCV.

Project Inform deliberately focuses their efforts on issues that few other agencies address. Currently, they fight the HIV and hepatitis C epidemics by assuring the development of effective treatments and a cure, supporting individuals to make informed choices about their health, advocating for quality, affordable health care and promoting medical strategies that prevent new infections.
