EJAF'S PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS ON THE SOUTHERN U.S., AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE FOUNDATION'S 2018 GRANT MAKING, INDICATES THAT EJAF IS AN IMPORTANT AND LEADING HIV FUNDER IN THIS REGION. EJAF TARGETS ITS FUNDING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AT GREATEST RISK FOR HIV INFECTION, PRIORITIZING SUPPORT FOR HEALTH PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVISM FOR LGBT PEOPLE, BLACK AMERICANS, HIV-POSITIVE PRISONERS AND PAROLEES, SEX WORKERS, PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS, WOMEN, AND YOUNG PEOPLE. 1. PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV ARE CENTRAL TO ALL EFFORTS TO PREVENT, TREAT, AND END HIV. 2. GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE COMPRISE OVER HALF OF ALL PEOPLE INFECTED WITH HIV IN THE U.S. AND A MAJOR PART OF THE EPIDEMIC IN THE CARIBBEAN. 3. PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS ACCOUNT FOR 12% OF NEW HIV INFECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH HALF OF THESE INJECTION DRUG USERS BEING BLACK AMERICANS, ONE THIRD BEING WOMEN, AND ONE THIRD BEING GAY OR BISEXUAL MEN OR TRANSGENDER. EJAF'S PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS ON THESE KEY POPULATIONS INCLUDES: * ORGANIZATIONS LED BY AND ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV; * ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON PREVENTING AND TREATING HIV AMONG BLACK GAY MEN; * ORGANIZATIONS PROMOTING THE HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE; * ORGANIZATIONS HELPING HIV-POSITIVE AND LGBT MIGRANTS TO RESETTLE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA; AND * ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING SEX WORKERS TO ORGANIZE AND PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES.
