AIDSVu

What AIDSVu does

AIDSVu is an interactive online mapping and data visualization platform that depicts the impact of the HIV epidemic across the United States at national, regional, state, county, and city levels. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Atlanta, the platform is presented by Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health in partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc. and the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University (CFAR), with Dr. Patrick Sullivan serving as Principal Scientist. Its core technology consists of an interactive map frontend (map.aidsvu.org), a PrEP-focused companion platform (PrEPVu.org), the newly launched HIV Impact Calculator, service locators powered by National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) data, downloadable datasets, and educational "Deeper Look" resources covering topics from HIV criminalization to health equity. The platform ingests data from CDC surveillance, IQVIA (PrEP use, via a Gilead-supported data-sharing agreement), and NPIN, and renders it through county- and city-level profiles, social determinants of health overlays, awareness-day toolkits, and expert Q&As.

The organization serves a horizontal set of user segments: federal, state, and local public health officials; federal, state, and local policymakers; academic and clinical researchers; HIV advocacy organizations; HIV service organizations (e.g., The Women's Collective); and the general public including people at risk for or living with HIV. The platform addresses the need for accessible, locally relevant HIV epidemiological data to inform resource allocation, policy design, research, advocacy, and individual decision-making about testing, PrEP, and care.

AIDSVu is structured as a non-profit public health project and does not generate revenue. All interactive maps, profiles, datasets, service locators, and educational resources are provided free of charge with no login required, and the operating model is sustained through institutional sponsorship from Emory, Gilead Sciences, and CFAR, with philanthropic data contributed by Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) and program partnerships with Together TakeMeHome and the COMPASS Initiative. The organization operates with 1–10 employees and is not publicly traded.

Core offering

AIDSVu operates an interactive online mapping platform that visualizes the impact of the HIV epidemic on communities across the United States at national, regional, state, county, and city levels. The platform aggregates HIV prevalence, PrEP use, social determinants of health, and service locator data from sources including IQVIA, NPIN, and CDC surveillance, then makes the resulting maps, profiles, downloadable datasets, and educational resources freely available to the public.

Product overview

AIDSVu is a data visualization and public health intelligence platform presented by Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health in partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc. and the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University. The core product is the AIDSVu Interactive Mapping Platform, which provides interactive maps, data visualizations, profiles, infographics, and downloadable datasets to help users understand HIV and HIV prevention across the United States.

Direct peers

• County Health Rankings & Roadmaps: A collaboration between the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and RWJF, providing county-level health data visualizations across the U.S. It overlaps with AIDSVu's geographic health data approach and social determinants framing, serving a similar audiences of public health officials and policymakers.
• CDC AtlasPlus: CDC's AtlasPlus is the government's interactive mapping tool for HIV, STI, viral hepatitis, and tuberculosis data. It is the most direct public-sector competitor to AIDSVu, providing similar national, state, and county-level disease visualization backed by CDC surveillance data.
• HepVu: HepVu is the direct sibling platform to AIDSVu, also presented by Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, providing interactive mapping of Hepatitis C data across the U.S. It uses the same model, organizational structure, and operational approach, and is referenced on AIDSVu's own website footer as a partner brand.
• PolicyMap: PolicyMap is a GIS-based data platform that overlays health, social determinants, and community-level indicators for policy and research use. AIDSVu's social determinants overlay feature is conceptually similar to PolicyMap's core offering, and both target policymakers and community researchers.

Broad incumbents

• Esri ArcGIS: Esri's ArcGIS is the dominant GIS platform used by public health agencies to build disease and demographic mapping applications. AIDSVu is effectively a public health-specific application layer on top of similar underlying spatial data infrastructure, and Esri is the broader incumbent that could expand into AIDSVu's vertical.
• Tableau Public: Tableau Public is a free, publicly accessible data visualization platform used by many public health organizations to publish interactive maps and dashboards. It serves an overlapping need for free, accessible public health data visualization, though it is a general-purpose tool rather than HIV-specific.

Others

• NASTAD: The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors represents public health officials who direct HIV/AIDS programs. NASTAD shares AIDSVu's policy and resource-allocation audience and could be both a peer and partner in the HIV public health ecosystem.
• amfAR: The Foundation for AIDS Research is a major HIV research and advocacy organization. While amfAR focuses on funding research and policy advocacy rather than data visualization, it shares AIDSVu's mission of combating HIV and could be both a peer and partner in the field.

Emerging players

• HIV.gov: HIV.gov is the U.S. government's primary web portal for HIV information, providing testing locators, treatment resources, and federal policy information. While not a mapping platform, it serves a similar audience of public health officials, providers, and the public seeking HIV resources, and could evolve into a more direct competitor.

Regional players

• AIDSmap (NAM Publications): AIDSmap is a UK-based HIV information resource providing news, treatment information, and global epidemiology data. While internationally focused, it addresses the same HIV information and advocacy needs that AIDSVu serves in the U.S., making it a regional peer rather than a direct competitor.
