Direct peers

• AIDES: France's leading HIV/AIDS and hepatitis non-profit, founded 1984, with a community-led testing and outreach model targeting MSM and vulnerable populations. Direct peer in operational structure: street-based testing, anonymous free services, support groups, and harm reduction programming for PLHIV.
• Terrence Higgins Trust: UK's largest HIV/AIDS charity, founded 1982, providing testing, support, and advocacy across England, Scotland, and Wales. Direct peer in service mix (free testing, helplines, peer support, PrEP advocacy) and as a mature national patient organization with similar institutional history.
• GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis): Founded 1982 in New York as the world's first HIV/AIDS service organization, providing testing, mental health services, housing, and legal support. Direct peer in the comprehensive-service non-profit model — particularly in the housing, counseling, and community education triad that mirrors ČSAP's portfolio.
• Deutsche Aidshilfe: Germany's national HIV/AIDS service organization, also a non-profit providing testing, counseling, and community support for MSM and PLHIV. Direct peer because it operates the same model — fixed checkpoints, mobile testing, counseling hotlines, and political advocacy — in a neighboring Central European country with comparable epidemiological profile.

Broad incumbents

• AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF): The world's largest HIV/AIDS non-profit organization operating in 45+ countries with free testing, treatment, and advocacy. Comparable to ČSAP as a comprehensive HIV service provider with mobile testing and policy advocacy, but at vastly larger global scale and operating treatment clinics directly.

Regional players

• European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG): European-wide network of HIV/AIDS patient advocates and organizations, headquartered in Brussels. Comparable as a peer-network actor that convenes HIV patient organizations across Europe — directly relevant to ČSAP's role co-organizing the EACS conference and representing CEE patient interests.
• Slovenská spoločnosť AIDS pomoc: Slovak AIDS help society, the direct geographic cousin to ČSAP originally operating as one organization before the 1993 Czech-Slovak split. Highly comparable as the regional peer providing the same testing, counseling, and PLHIV support services in Slovakia.

Emerging players

• National AIDS Trust (NAT): UK's dedicated HIV policy and advocacy charity, focused on changing attitudes and securing legal protections for PLHIV. Comparable as a peer in the national HIV patient-organization ecosystem with policy advocacy focus, complementing ČSAP's role co-founding NAPO in Czechia.
• Canadian AIDS Society: Canadian national umbrella organization for the community-based HIV/AIDS response, providing national programming, advocacy, and member services. Comparable as a national-scale non-profit convening the HIV response across multiple provincial organizations, similar to ČSAP's national coordination role in Czechia.
• National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA): Australian national peak organization for people living with HIV, providing advocacy, peer support, and treatment information. Comparable as a national patient-organization umbrella model focused on PLHIV representation, though NAPWHA focuses on policy/advocacy rather than direct service delivery.
