The Rocket Fund

HELP END AIDS FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.

The Rocket Fund is the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s transformative $125 million campaign to redouble the fight against AIDS everywhere.

Growing levels of stigmatization, marginalization, and poverty have led to high rates of HIV and low access to healthcare. We have the chance to tackle these issues and create a brighter and more equitable future – for everyone, everywhere.

Together, we can end AIDS forever. Join us.

People who use drugs

People who inject drugs are 14x more likely to acquire HIV than the general population. To end AIDS, people who use drugs need treatment and care, not shame and stigma. AIDS isn’t over for anyone until it’s over for everyone.
