After serving the Philadelphia community for more than three decades, nonprofit AIDS Fund Philly announced that the organization is shutting down at the end of this year.

In a Facebook post signed by the staff and board, AIDS Fund said it will conclude operations on Dec. 31, 2024. "We are proud of our contributions to the fight against HIV in Philadelphia, and believe that with the advances in both the prevention and treatment we can conclude our work at this time," the post said.

AIDS Fund was founded during the peak of the AIDS epidemic and has operated in the city for 35 years. The group says its mission has always been to end the stigma around HIV and eliminate infections and deaths related to the disease. According to the nonprofit, more than 18,600 people in Philadelphia are currently living with HIV.
