The Elton John AIDS Foundation and Walmart have joined forces to change the course of HIV in the United States.

Together, we’re breaking through the barriers that keep HIV testing, prevention, and treatment services from those who need them most.

There are around 1.2 million people in the US living with HIV and 13% still don’t know it. Of those who do know, only two-thirds are linked to care, and only half stay connected to care long-term.

This is well below global targets set by UNAIDS. The goal is to get 95% of people tested, on treatment, and virally suppressed by 2025.

Tackling discrimination

HIV continues to disproportionately impact communities of colour, especially in the U.S. South. The epidemic also has a significant impact on LGTBQ+ communities. Half of Black gay men and a quarter of Latino gay men are projected to be diagnosed with HIV within their lifetime.
Over the next five years , the Breakthrough programme will work with local community organisations to reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, and get more people accessing HIV prevention and treatment services for as long as they need it.

Taking care of the people

Walmart is a local store for most people in the US – for 90% of the population, there’s one within 10 miles. With more than 4,600 pharmacies across the country, Walmart can reach people who might not otherwise get HIV care, or even seek it out.

Together, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Walmart are bringing coordinated, supportive care and services to communities across the US. We’re also supporting Walmart pharmacists with the launch of a new training programme in collaboration with Duke University to enhance the capabilities of their health workforce.

Our aim – to provide Walmart Pharmacists and Walmart Health team members with the tools and knowledge they need to help reduce the rate of new HIV infections in the hardest hit communities.
