Israel AIDS Task Force

The Israel AIDS Task Force is the only non-governmental organization on the national level, and the oldest and most important organization in Israel in the area of AIDS. The Israel AIDS Task Force was founded as a non-profit association in 1985 by a group of social activists to promote the general public’s health in relation to AIDS. The Task Force’s board is in constant contact with the authorities and health services, as the representative organization of people living with HIV/AIDS in Israel, to protect and promote their rights. Our support team works tirelessly to support people living with HIV and their loved ones. Our professional educational outreach team works to deepen the public’s knowledge about HIV/AIDS, including information on the ways the disease spreads, prevention, and publishing advanced medical information. We are committed to working for the dignity and wellbeing of people living with HIV. We do this mainly through awareness-raising media and political work, psycho-social services, social support, and handling complaints. Our educational outreach activity includes workshops, especially for teens; a website; online forums; awareness-raising publicity campaigns; and an information and support hotline. Our goal is to raise knowledge about HIV/AIDS, and responsible sexual behavior – the basis for preventing new HIV infections.
