The Love Foundation is a non-profit organization base in Thailand focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment for key affected populations through condom promotion, HIV rapid testing . Through partnerships with community-led clinics and established health organizations in Thailand, our mission is to use the power of online social networks to provide education and counseling on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We support the LGBT community by providing opportunities for leadership and work for aspiring LGBT people in our projects and organization.
Love Foundation’s work
Enduring stigma against HIV/STIs act as social barriers to effective prevention and treatment. In addition to the Bangkok metropolitan area, we reach out to key populations in the north, south, and eastern regions of Thailand by highlighting varying regional attitudes towards HIV prevention and treatment. Here are highlights of our on-going projects:
Buddy+: An online community for men living with HIV in Thailand to find social community, job opportunities, and mental health counseling.
HIV Map: A country-wide search tool that lists the nearest HIV/STI clinics for individuals located anywhere in Thailand.
Love2Test.org for HIV/STI Clinics: Allows individuals to directly make appointments online to clinics in Bangkok
Health Ambassadorship Program: A partnership program for LGBT influencers who wish to help advocate against HIV stigma.
The Speak OUT Campaign: In partnership with HIV specialists and LGBT celebrities, the Love Foundation produces educational media targeting MSM youths 15-21 in Thailand to advocate against HIV stigma and for knowledge on HIV treatment and prevention.
