U.S. Business Action to End HIV is a growing coalition of businesses committed to ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. The Atlanta chapter was established in 2024 to unite employers and public health experts in addressing local HIV challenges.

The Atlanta Chapter is locally managed by OUT Georgia Business Alliance

The coalition helps local employers provide:

HIV education programs to raise awareness and reduce stigma.

Comprehensive health benefits that include HIV prevention and treatment services

Inclusive workplace nondiscrimination policies

... and more innovative services and support for Metro Atlanta employees and communities

Why Atlanta?

U.S. Business Action to End HIV is establishing local chapters in regions that are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Georgia has one of the highest rates of new HIV cases in the nation, and Atlanta is an epicenter.

According to the CDC, the risk of HIV diagnosis in Atlanta is one in 51 people. Some zip codes in the Atlanta area have rates of HIV/AIDS that are six to eight times higher than the national average.

Many factors contribute to Atlanta's high HIV rates; poverty, stigma, fewer health care resources in certain areas, and lack of health insurance, housing, or transportation can prevent people from getting tested or seeking treatment.

Join The Atlanta Chapter

Businesses with a footprint in Metro Atlanta are encouraged to join Atlanta Business Action to End HIV and leverage their resources, influence, and expertise to help end the HIV epidemic.
