Many of the tools and innovations we need to end AIDS already exist. Yet too many people still face barriers to accessing HIV prevention and care. How do we turn scientific progress into services that everyone can use?

At the 2026 Clinton Global Initiative in New York, our CEO Anne Aslett joined Hillary Clinton and Gilead Sciences’ Daniel O’Day for a conversation about the next chapter of the HIV response.

For the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the priority is about giving people greater choice in how and where they receive care, and back the communities that make those services accessible.

Watch the clip of Anne in conversation with Hillary Clinton below.

Philanthropy has an important role: backing new ideas, demonstrating what works and helping unlock the funding needed to reach more people.

Our ambition is for everyone to be able to choose the HIV services that work for them, access them with confidence and continue receiving the support they need. Bringing scientific innovation together with community knowledge and sustained investment can help make that possible.
