The world now has the tools to prevent new HIV cases and AIDS-related deaths, yet HIV is on the rise in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA).
In this region, 2.1 million people are living with HIV, but 41% are unaware of their status and 50% are not receiving treatment – far below the global 95-95-95 targets.
To address this urgent issue, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Gilead Sciences partnered to create RADIAN: an initiative dedicated to enhancing the quality of HIV prevention, treatment, and care across EECA.
Since its launch in 2019, RADIAN has made a significant impact on the HIV crisis in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Our achievements include:
In July 2024, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Gilead Sciences announced the extension of RADIAN for another five years. RADIAN 2.0 will enable us to build on our achievements while tackling emerging challenges in the EECA region.
Together with our RADIAN partners, we will continue to address the structural drivers of the epidemic, strengthen HIV health systems, and enhance the capacities of local organizations for lasting impact.
Under the RADIAN 2.0 program, the Elton John AIDS Foundation calls for grant proposals for projects aimed at providing refugees from Ukraine with access to quality HIV prevention, testing, and treatment services, as well as addressing structural barriers such as limited access to government services and stigma.
Applicants can apply for projects lasting up to 24 months which are being implemented in Germany, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.
Funding is provided through grants which are assessed and administered by the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Gilead Sciences has no involvement in the selection and assessment of award applicants and winners.
