Anlaids Lazio

What Anlaids Lazio does

Anlaids Lazio is the Lazio regional section of ANLAIDS (Associazione Nazionale per la Lotta contro l'Aids), Italy's national association for the fight against AIDS, and has operated as a registered Associazione di Promozione Sociale (APS) in Rome since 1988. The organization delivers free HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, testing, education, and support services to four primary beneficiary groups: the general population and at-risk individuals in Lazio (via rapid saliva-based HIV/HCV testing and counselling), secondary school students (via Progetto Scuola, a peer-education program reaching 60+ schools and 120,000+ students since 2003), nursing students and professional nurses (via Progetto Università in collaboration with OPI Roma, 6,000+ participants since 2018), and people living with HIV and their families (via psychological support and the Consulta l'Esperto telephone/online consultation service). Its service portfolio also includes social-media-driven prevention campaigns (Social Prevention), health-pathway initiatives with rapid testing (Percorso Salute), comic-based peer education (Disegnare la Prevenzione), and a Medical Area publishing anonymized Q&A from real consultations. Underlying technology is minimal — a content website, social media presence, and salivary rapid diagnostic tests delivered in partnership with Ospedale Spallanzani, the national reference centre for infectious diseases — with no proprietary software, platforms, or AI components.

The business model is non-commercial and donation-based. Anlaids Lazio is self-financed and depends exclusively on private individuals and companies, with no government operating subsidies disclosed. Revenue streams include annual membership fees (€30 ordinary, €250 supporting), one-time and recurring monetary donations (tax-deductible), 5xmille taxpayer allocations (fiscal code 04642801007), testamentary bequests, charity galas (annual Charity Dinner at rotating museum venues, theatre benefit nights), sales of solidarity products (bomboniere, holiday gift baskets), and institutional grants from partners such as Otto per Mille della Chiesa Valdese and Gilead Sciences' Community Award Program (won in 2024 and 2025). The organization is governed by an 8-member elected Board of Directors led by President Gianluca De Marchi, operates from a single headquarters at Via Giovanni Giolitti 42 in Rome with 7 employees, and coordinates with the national ANLAIDS association and partner institutions (Sapienza Università di Roma, Università Niccolò Cusano, ReTe AIDS / Istituto Superiore di Sanità) on programming aligned with the national prevention strategy.
