\u201cThe Elton John AIDS Foundation\u2019s mission is to end the AIDS epidemic. For almost 30 years, we have prioritized people around the world who are most vulnerable to HIV\/AIDS and those most likely to be left behind as HIV treatment and care expands,\u201d the foundation said in a statement. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, those people become extra vulnerable because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are launching a new COVID-19 Emergency Fund that can protect the people we have always sought to serve through HIV care, treatment and prevention, as well as mitigating the damage that COVID-19 can do, particularly to the global gains we are making for more than 37 million people already living with HIV.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Elton John AIDS Foundation also opened up applications to organizations offering \u201csolutions that have strong potential to address specific challenges that have arisen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe must keep up momentum, or results will be disastrous for people living with HIV and other infectious diseases,\u201d John continued.<\/span><\/p>\n
