The AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA) is a not-for-profit community-based AIDS research and treatment education center. In conjunction with recognized leaders in AIDS research and treatment, primary-care providers, and people living with HIV disease, ACRIA identifies scientifically promising therapies for AIDS and HIV-related illness, designs and implements studies on these interventions, and submits the findings for publication; conducts research geared toward the further understanding of HIV disease, treatment, and prevention; and provides education about AIDS treatments and research to the communities affected by HIV/AIDS.

“ACRIA envisions a world where all people with HIV receive the treatment and support they need to lead healthy, productive lives and where transmissions of the virus have been eliminated. ”
