Founded in 1999, the Black AIDS Institute (The Institute) is the only national HIV/AIDS think tank in the United states focused exclusively on Black communities. The Institutes mission is to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Black communities by engaging and mobilizing leaders, institutions and individuals in efforts to confront HIV/AIDS in local communities. The Institute conducts trainings, offers technical assistance, disseminates information and provides policy development, mobilization and advocacy from a uniquely and unapologetically Black point of view.
The Institute has played a leading role in calling attention to the health crisis in Black America. The Black AIDS Institute is the organization most often quoted on domestic AIDS media coverage. When American journalists were polled about who they turn to on any AIDS issue, more cited the Institute than any other organization.
The Black AIDS Institute works with Black communities across the country to build their capacity to lead the fight against AIDS. Through intensive, year-long training programs and ongoing technical assistance, the Institute has built the skills, motivation and savvy of more than 200 community organizations to contribute to their local AIDS response.
