AHF: The Road to 500,000, is an original AHF production featuring highlights from AHF’s domestic and global activities to promote HIV/STD testing and treatment to reach the historic milestone of providing medical care and services to over 500,000 lives in 36 countries worldwide in the US, Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America/Caribbean.
“We are now reaching over half-a-million men, women and children with lifesaving medical care in thirty-six countries around the world—a remarkable accomplishment that only a great team of patients, medical providers, staff and volunteers could have made possible,” said Michael Weinstein, AHF’s President. “500,000 patients in care is one of the greatest accomplishments in the 28-year history of AHF. Just two years ago, we celebrated 250,000 patients in care. To now reach over twice that number of lives is incredible.”
