HIV Medicine Association

What HIV Medicine Association does

HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) is a professional membership organization of over 6,000 healthcare professionals — physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists — who practice HIV medicine. HIVMA operates as a subdivision of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), sharing headquarters at 4040 Wilson Blvd., Suite 300 in Arlington, VA, and is governed by an elected Board of Directors chaired by Anna K. Person, MD, FIDSA, with Andrea Weddle, MSW, serving as Executive Director. The organization advances a comprehensive and humane response to the HIV pandemic through education, clinical resources, policy advocacy, and member recognition, and is a member-supported nonprofit rather than a commercial enterprise.

HIVMA's core products and services include the HIV Provider Directory (an online searchable directory of HIV physicians and providers who accept new patients), the HIV Exchange Community Forum (peer discussion platform hosted on MyIDSA), the Ryan White Medical Providers Coalition (a federal advocacy coalition representing Ryan White clinicians), the National PrEP Program advocacy initiative, the Let's Talk HIV podcast miniseries, and the HIV Syndemic Care educational initiative. The organization co-hosts IDWeek, the combined annual meeting of IDSA, SHEA, HIVMA, PIDS, and SIDP, and offers tiered membership (student/resident, associate, and full member) that includes access to journals, continuing education through IDSA Academy, awards programs, and policy advocacy channels. The HIV Clinical Fellowship Program trained 33 fellows from 2007-2024 before being sunsetted due to funding limitations.

HIVMA's revenue model is membership-dues-driven, supplemented by IDWeek conference registration fees and sponsorships, and historically by pharmaceutical company grants for the HIV Clinical Fellowship Program (sponsors included ViiV Healthcare, Gilead Foundation, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, Pfizer, and Bristol Myers Squibb). Membership pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization serves as a unifying professional voice for HIV clinicians, with named customer-adjacent relationships including Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clinics and a coalition of HIV medical providers, and it actively engages in federal advocacy around the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, CDC prevention programs, and Medicaid policy.

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM): The most direct peer: AAHIVM is a professional association of HIV care providers that, like HIVMA, focuses on HIV-specialized clinicians, issues HIV specialist credentials, and advocates on HIV policy. HIVMA and AAHIVM are even co-plaintiffs in the 2026 Lambda Legal lawsuit challenging HHS restrictions on Ryan White funding.
• International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC): Direct peer with a global mission to improve HIV care delivery, and a co-plaintiff alongside HIVMA in the 2026 federal lawsuit. IAPAC shares HIVMA's focus on provider education, advocacy, and ending the HIV epidemic.

Broad incumbents

• Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA): HIVMA's parent organization and the broader professional home of 13,000 clinicians, scientists, and public health experts. IDSA shares staff, headquarters, governance, and IDWeek conference with HIVMA, encompassing HIV within its broader infectious disease portfolio.
• Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA): Fellow co-host of IDWeek alongside HIVMA, SHEA focuses on healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention. Compares as a parallel specialty association within the same IDSA conference ecosystem.
• Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS): Another co-host of IDWeek alongside HIVMA, PIDS focuses on pediatric infectious diseases. Comparable as a sister specialty society within the same IDSA-unified conference and governance structure.
• American Medical Association (AMA): Large, broad-incumbent physician professional association with overlapping membership in HIV-care physicians. Compares as a higher-tier governance and advocacy organization touching HIV policy at the federal level.
• American College of Physicians (ACP): Large specialty society for internal medicine physicians, many of whom practice HIV primary care. Compares as a broader professional home for internists who may also be HIVMA members.
• American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): National professional society for family physicians, including those providing HIV primary care in underserved settings. Compares as a source of overlapping membership and a partner for HIV workforce expansion.

Emerging players

• AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF): The largest HIV/AIDS healthcare organization globally, operating clinics, pharmacies, and testing programs. Comparable as a major HIV-focused provider that also engages in advocacy and workforce development, though structured as a direct care provider rather than a professional association.

Others

• Lambda Legal: Civil rights legal organization that co-represents HIVMA as plaintiff in the 2026 federal lawsuit. Comparable as an advocacy/legal partner that amplifies HIVMA's policy voice through litigation; not a direct competitor but a key ecosystem participant.
