AIDS Healthcare Foundation | 2006 Annual Report | Within Our Reach
20
years
within our reachThe early days of AIDS Healthcare Foundation
(AHF) mirrored those of the AIDS crisis itself —
a labyrinth of rare pneumonias, unrelenting fear
and immeasurable loss.
Yet in the 20 years since it took root, AHF has
taken dramatic and vital steps toward changing
and saving lives. No matter how hostile the
environment, how seemingly impossible the task,
the organization pressed on vigilantly.
It is in that spirit we look forward to the next 20
years. With alliances forged, we move confidently
toward the goal of global AIDS control — thought
by many to be an impossibility. We are grateful
that through hard work and perseverance,
controlling AIDS in our lifetime is now a real
world possibility. And finally, within our reach.

cutting-edge medicine and advocacy, regardless of ability to pay
Since 1987, AIDS Healthcare Foundation has cared for more than 100,000
people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and around the globe. It has grown
from a grassroots coalition that provided hospice care, to the nation’s
largest AIDS organization. With a staff of more than 800, AHF provides
healthcare through clinics and innovative global programs and continues
to help people with HIV live longer, healthier lives.
AHF has many contracts, subcontracts and grants with government agencies. AHF’s business development staff
bids for these contracts, managed by its Contracts Department. Government contracts account for almost 40 percent
of AHF’s revenues. Sources of funds include the Ryan White CARE Act, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
Medicare, and state Medicaid.
letter from the president
We are imagining the control
of AIDS around the globe.
As AIDS Healthcare Foundation enters its 20th year, we see a light at the end of the tunnel.
In 2005, for the very first time, there were fewer deaths and fewer new infections than in the year
before. That alone is cause for celebration. Now, 25 percent of people living with HIV in the devel-
oping world who need medication can get it. Six years ago that number was two percent. What is
the magic ingredient that has changed everything? Hope — created by access to treatment.
Breaking the Pattern
With treatment being rolled out in almost every corner of the world, AIDS is no longer viewed as a
death sentence. More people are willing to get tested, know their status, and protect their partners,
thus breaking the chain of infection.
Despite these successes, we cannot let our guard down. There are still many obstacles in the path to
conquering AIDS and too many lives are still being lost.
I am proud to report that 800 dedicated AHF employees are now delivering care and services to more
than 53,000 patients in 15 countries. Our advocacy efforts have helped shape much of the response in the
U.S. and throughout the world. Our model of healthcare is having a major influence on how patients receive
services worldwide.
Imagine and Accomplish
The strength of the AHF community, our commitment to our mission, and the organization’s excellent financial
health position us well for the future. As we begin programs in new communities in the U.S. and abroad,
we are expanding our delivery of healthcare and influencing policy with the sole aim of saving more lives.
At AHF, anything we can imagine, we can accomplish. Today we are imagining the control of AIDS around
the globe — something that is now within our reach.

letter from the chief of medicine
The knowledge we have gained fromstudying HIV/AIDS will give us the abilityto conquer the diseases of the future.
Twenty-five years into the AIDS pandemic, our first real ray of hope came when anti-retroviral
therapy was introduced at the International AIDS Conference in Vancouver in 1996. This
watershed development saved millions, enabling many people with access to these drugs
to live with HIV as a chronic, manageable infection.
The Good News
As a scientist working on the frontlines of the disease since its discovery, the good news is that these medicines
to control and combat HIV are improving. Very soon, the number of pills an individual must take to control and
manage the disease will be reduced. Drug companies are now working together to combine their lifesaving
drugs into one tablet or pill containing an entire day’s regimen.
Similarly, more potent and durable drugs, such as boosted protease inhibitors and integrase inhibitors, will soon
be available to resource-limited countries. Eventually, people around the world will be treated with this once-a-day
regimen, with the remainder taking just two or three pills once a day.
38 Million Still in Need
Despite international efforts to date, more than 38 million people around the world still lack access to
these incredible, lifesaving drugs. To effectively combat global AIDS, there must be universal access.
I truly believe there is a future where HIV will no longer be killing people. I can envision many clinics in many
lands with stable populations of well patients. Those clinics will not only dispense anti-retrovirals, but will help
treat many of the diseases that plague resource-poor countries as well.
The knowledge we have gained from studying HIV/AIDS will give us the ability to conquer the diseases of the
future. But, while we have much to be thankful for, there is much to do. We must improve and expand the reach
of our knowledge by working toward scaling up delivery of HIV/AIDS care and treatment to many more of those
in need worldwide.
Charles Farthing, M.D.Chief of Medicine, AIDS Healthcare Foundation
2006: Hundreds of marchers participated in the AHF “AIDS Treatment Now: Time to Deliver” march. Arriving at Toronto’s
Rogers Center they presented the Toronto Declaration to senior Conference officials at the XVI International
AIDS Conference. Marchers called on delegates to commit to the goals of the Declaration, which included significantly
expanding pediatric treatment and HIV testing globally.

Global Reach
AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s goal of
saving 100,000 lives in 30 countries
is now within reach. But we must
remain ever vigilant. We will continue
to raise our independent voice to
navigate the often challenging global
landscape and do what we do best:
advocate for patients and develop
innovative treatment solutions that
change and save lives.
In 2005, for the very first time in the pandemic, there were fewer deaths and
fewer new infections than in the year before. The weapons necessary to combat
AIDS have been developed and improved, and mass distribution of anti-retroviral
treatment is making a significant difference.
30 countries. 100,000 lives.
Countries where AHF is currently providing services.
Countries where AHF is committing resources and will soon provide services.
Countries where AHF is exploring new project opportunities and completing initial ground assessment.

Saying Goodbye to Bean
In March 2006, AIDS Healthcare Foundation
closed its last hospice facility, Carl Bean House.
The event marked a significant milestone in the
organization’s 20-year history. Carl Bean House,
like the organization’s other hospice facilities —
Chris Brownlie Hospice and Linn House — was a
critical component in the care of patients during the
early years of the AIDS pandemic when HIV/AIDS
was known as a death sentence. More recently,
treatment options and better access to lifesaving
treatment have significantly reduced the need for
hospice care. Where 20 years ago, HIV/AIDS patients
were expected to live only months to a year, today,
on average, patients have a lifespan of 20 years or
more after diagnosis.
2006: Since its opening in 1992, more than 3,000 patients passed through the doors of Carl Bean House. Named after
a prominent AIDS activist, the historic Craftsman-style residence, located in the West Adams district of Los Angeles,
was renovated to accommodate patients. However, its warm, homelike environment was always maintained.

advancing treatment
Care for Victims of Hurricane Katrina
AHF partnered with NO/AIDS Task
Force, the oldest AIDS service
organization in New Orleans, to
help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Using a state-of-the-art mobile
clinic donated by the Elizabeth
Taylor AIDS Foundation and Macy’s,
AHF and NO/AIDS partnered to
provide services to the three
primary areas in the greater New
Orleans region where patients had
been relocated and subsequently
fallen out of care.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation | 2006 Annual Report | 11
2006: AHF Healthcare Centers are partners in care to thousands of men and women at 14 locations throughout California and Florida.
AHF Healthcare Centers™
A 2006 client survey resulting in ratings of “very good”
to “excellent” lauded the performance of 14 domestic
AHF Healthcare Centers in 2006. Of the 953 respondents,
95 percent said they would recommend the service of AHF
Healthcare Centers to a friend.
The Centers’ physicians were also spotlighted in an advertising
campaign featuring the photography of respected photographer,
Greg Gorman, who donated his services. The campaign
featured portraits of AIDS Healthcare Foundation doctors from
its California Healthcare centers and promoted the dedication,
training and compassion each of these highly specialized
HIV/AIDS physicians bring to the care of their patients. The
campaign ran in local magazines and on billboards throughout
Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area.
HIV Medics Training Program
AHF’s innovative HIV Medics Training Program is helping
solve the medical personnel shortage problem in fighting the
HIV/AIDS epidemic abroad. The intensive, 12-week program
trains lay people to become HIV-treatment extenders working
under the supervision of a physician, nurse or other clinician.
To date, 75 medics have received training in Uganda and
Zambia. The hope is to continue the program in the Asia
Pacific and Latin American regions. AHF is working with
JHPIEGO, an international health organization affiliated with
The Johns Hopkins University and the Rand Corporation,
in a comprehensive evaluation and monitoring of the program.
The HIV Medics Training Program was awarded a grant to
support three more HIV medic trainings in Zambia in 2007.
gaining ground
The independent voice of AIDS Healthcare
Foundation is far-reaching, and the vital services
it provides have improved and saved countless
lives. AHF’s expert and celebrated model of care
has translated into countless clinical success stories.
The organization’s steadfast commitment to provide
anti-retroviral therapy (ART) to all those who need
it has helped move the global health community
closer to achieving universal access to treatment
and eventual global AIDS control.
Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa has just over ten percent of the world’s
population, yet it is home to more than 60 percent of all
people living with HIV — a total of 25.8 million. In 2005,
an estimated 3.2 million people in the region became newly
infected, while 2.4 million adults and children died of AIDS.
Rwanda
In its continuing efforts to address Africa’s overwhelming
AIDS struggles, AHF joined in a partnership to provide
treatment and support services through free AIDS treatment
clinics in Kagugu, Nyakigezi and Gahanga. AHF currently
supports more than 500 patients and helps provide
anti-retroviral treatment, trains healthcare professionals
and improves infrastructure to ensure the highest quality
of HIV/AIDS care. In addition, AHF currently operates clinics
in Ethiopia, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda and Zambia.
South Africa
In August, AHF’s Ithembalabantu “People’s Hope” Clinic
received ART accreditation from the South African national
government. Recognized as a model partnership, the clinic
is the first non-governmental organization to receive
such accreditation.
A donation from the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation was
made in 2006 to purchase lifesaving drugs and services
for patients. In addition, singer and Keep A Child Alive
ambassador, Alicia Keys, visited the clinic.
12 | AIDS Healthcare Foundation | 2006 Annual Report
“I lost two brothers and many
close relatives to HIV/AIDS.
Access to treatment saved my
life. I became involved with
AHF-UGANDA CARES in 2003
as a client and have since
become an HIV medic and
training coordinator. Now, I’m
not only helping people like
myself gain access to the right
treatment, but I’m training others
to help them as well. Can you
believe it?”
Grace Akampumuza, AHF Patient/HIV Medics
Training Coordinator, Uganda
2006: An HIV medic helps complete lab work at an AHF clinic in Zambia. Medics participate in a 12-week intensive training
course to become treatment extenders, then work under the supervision of an AHF physician, nurse or other clinician.

“When my husband died, I
thought he might have been
infected with HIV/AIDS and
that I might be too. I discovered
I was infected in 2004 and got
very sick. After four months on
anti-retroviral treatment my
condition improved dramatically
and I became involved in a
people living with AIDS (PLHA)
self-help group where I am a
group leader and coordinator. It
is my hope to grow and network
my group and gain strength and
advocacy for PLHA.
Sokun Sann, AHF Patient, Cambodia
Asia Pacific
With 12 million new infections projected by 2010, AIDS
threatens to ravage this diverse region of more than
two billion people. During 2005 alone, 8.3 million people
were living with HIV in Asia. AHF is at work in China,
India and Cambodia in an effort to divert the sweep
of AIDS across this territory.
China
To address the vast needs of China’s HIV/AIDS infected, AHF
is working in partnership with Linfen City Infectious Disease
Hospital and Green Harbor AIDS Center. It has established
a Center of Excellence model for the provision of quality
ART and runs a clinical preceptorship program for HIV
physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers in Shanxi.
Cambodia
AHF works in partnership with the Ministry of Health,
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology & STI. AHF
has built capacity at four sites establishing a continuum
of care model for ART services.
India
Late in 2006, India’s National AIDS Control Organization
established a partnership with AHF INDIA CARES to scale
up medical care and services to people living with HIV/AIDS
in India. AHF INDIA CARES is the first international
non-governmental organization to gain such approval
from India. AHF currently operates three clinics in India
located in New Delhi, Mysore and Koppal.
2006: AHF physician Catherine Chein, M.D., who spends most of her time treating patients at the AHF Healthcare Center
in downtown Los Angeles, traveled abroad to care for patients at one of four new AHF partnerships in China.

Prevention and Testing
California’s largest HIV and STD testing and counseling
program achieved numerous goals in 2006.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s Prevention and Testing
Department, which provided over 15,000 free HIV and
STD tests last year, initiated legislation (Assembly Bill-2280)
to improve the testing process. As a result, the State Office
of AIDS agreed to develop a new model and have AHF take
part in the pilot. The department also launched the first-ever
counselor certification program in the state, allowing AHF to
train its own counselors.
The department’s year-old partner notification program —
a free, voluntary, confidential service helping HIV positive
individuals inform past or current sexual or needle sharing
partners of possible exposure — was so successful it received
funding for the next three years. Similarly, the department’s
Men’s Wellness Center, also launched in 2005, received funding
for an additional three years. The center provides HIV and STD
screening and treatment services targeting both HIV positive
and HIV negative individuals.
AHF Prevention and Testing Department develops programs
that best serve at-risk communities and initiates innovative
clinical and non-clinical prevention and testing programs.
AHF Research
AHF Research was involved in more than two dozen
pharmaceutical-sponsored clinical trials, illustrating the
organization’s continuing commitment to research. At
year’s end, the department had six clinical trials open for
enrollment and 18 research protocols with active participants.
Studies included several important new classes of anti-
retrovirals, as well as FDA post-approval trials for long-term
safety data collection, including the new single, once-a-day
tablet or regimen. A significant trial of TMC114 drugs led to
data being submitted to the FDA and contributed to the
expedited approval of this new class of drugs.
AHF began research activities in 1995 and continues to
focus on discovering better treatments and improving
quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS.
AIDS Walk, Florida
April 30th marked the first AIDS
Walk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
in seven years. AHF President,
Michael Weinstein, shown here
between celebrities Carson Kressley
and Jai Rodriguez of “Queer Eye,”
singer Deborah Gibson, and actors
Hal Sparks and Wilson Cruz joined
a diverse crowd of thousands of
walkers to raise awareness and
funds to fight AIDS in Broward
County, a major epicenter of the
epidemic. The event benefited AHF,
which serves more than 10,000
Floridians living with HIV/AIDS.

AHF and Positive Healthcare® Pharmacies
AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s pharmacy business saw
substantial growth in 2006. Revenue generated from the
10 pharmacies directly contributed to caring for AHF patients
and prevention and testing programs in the communities
AHF serves.
AHF Pharmacies in California and Florida introduced a new
automated 24-hour prescription refill system allowing patients
to order prescriptions over the telephone. All AHF and Positive
Healthcare pharmacies also accept e-prescriptions, which
translates into faster and more accurate prescription fulfillment.
In 2007, AHF will grow to 11 pharmacies and plans are to
actively pursue new locations for additional pharmacies to
provide patients with greater access to fill their prescription
needs. AHF and Positive Healthcare Pharmacies specialize
in HIV medications and fostering closer communication
between pharmacy customers and healthcare providers,
thereby improving the quality of life for its customers.
Positive Healthcare®
In May 2006, Positive Healthcare introduced a Medicare
Advantage, AIDS-specific, special-needs plan in California
under the Positive Healthcare Partners™ name. This
newly approved plan is the first of its kind in the country.
The plan is designed specifically for people living with
HIV/AIDS, and is approved by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services. Plans are to expand Positive Healthcare
Partners Medicare Advantage and Positive Healthcare
Medicaid plans to additional states.
Positive Healthcare was established in California in 1994
by AIDS Healthcare Foundation. At that time, medical care
for those living with HIV/AIDS was highly fragmented and
vulnerable to the cost-cutting measures sweeping across
other areas of medical care.
1995: The flagship Out of the Closet®
Thrift Store at Atwater Village reopens
after being remodeled and receiving a
facelift to mark its fifth year in business.
Out of the Closet®
Thrift Stores
Profits rose at Out of the Closet
Thrift Stores thanks to countless
donations from corporations.
These included a valuable denim
donation from Levi’s and the Gap
and prized items from celebrities
like the Olsen twins. A private
individual donation of designer
clothing/luggage (valued at
$100,000) was also received. Even
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, (a.k.a.
Cassandra Peterson shown here
with OTC General Manager Jonathan
Krueyer) lent her support to stores
during Halloween.
Out of the Closet continues to
receive exposure on HGTV,
shows like “Clean Sweep,” and in
independent and feature films.

XVI International AIDS Conference
Fifty delegates represented AIDS Healthcare Foundation at
the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto, Canada,
including patients, staff, management and board members
from around the world.
AHF made its presence known at the event with the
“AIDS Treatment Now: Time to Deliver” march. Marchers,
hailing from 150 nations represented at the Conference,
joined together to demand improved access to AIDS care
and treatment around the world. The march proceeded to the
steps of Rogers Centre just prior to the opening ceremonies
of the Conference, where advocates delivered the “Toronto
Declaration” to senior Conference officials calling on delegates
to pledge a commitment to the goals of the Declaration,
which included significant expansion of pediatric treatment
and HIV testing globally.
Campaigning for Middle-Income Countries
Public pressure and grassroots advocacy have driven down
the price of anti-retroviral treatment in the least-developed
countries to as low as $150 per patient, per year, creating
a significant impact on these regions’ HIV epidemics. Meanwhile,
HIV positive people in countries classified as “middle-income”
are being left behind. For example, lifesaving AIDS drugs can
cost up to $6,000 per year in Mexico, a middle-income country
where annual per capita income is roughly $8,000.
Known as a strong leader in domestic and global HIV/AIDS
advocacy issues, AHF stepped-up its campaign to lower
AIDS drug prices for people living with HIV in middle-income
countries in 2005. AHF continues to engage opinion leaders
and pharmaceutical companies on treatment access issues and
drug-pricing policies in both low and middle-income countries.
our independent voice
1991: With fewer than 100
staff members at its helm,
AHF participates in a protest
against discrimination in front
of the office of LA County
Board of Supervisors.
2006: AHF President Michael Weinstein (center), along with AHF physicians, clients, staff, executives and board
members begin the AIDS Treatment Now: “Time to Deliver” march at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto.
Fifty delegates at the Conference represented AHF’s worldwide program and the more than 53,000 people it serves.
Ryan White CARE Act Reauthorization
In 2005, the Ryan White CARE Act, the federal law that
provides the primary source of funding for AIDS care and
services nationwide, was set to be reauthorized.
Throughout the reauthorization process, AHF strongly
advocated for the CARE Act to be updated to address the
inequities that exist in caring for Americans living with HIV
by prioritizing medical care and treatment. After tireless
work by legislators, their staff and members of the community,
a new and improved CARE Act was signed into law in
December 2006.
For the first time since its introduction in 1990, the CARE Act
will prioritize funding for “core medical services” and promote
a more equitable distribution of federal AIDS funds across the
country. Funding will now be targeted to where the need is
greatest — the clinic. The new CARE Act will undoubtedly help
bring many more people living with HIV/AIDS into care and
treatment, improving their health and wellness.
AfricAlive: Portraits of Success
A traveling photo exhibition, featuring life-size photographic
portraits of men, women and children thriving on HIV/AIDS
medicines from AHF’s free treatment clinics in South Africa
and Uganda, celebrated the victory of life over death.
AfricAlive: Portraits of Success was an official event of
the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto.
The exhibition, featuring the work of globally recognized
photographer Dorit Thies, put the African AIDS epidemic in
focus by sharing striking images and stories of 35 patients
and families who are among the fortunate few on treatment
in the developing world. AfricAlive also enjoyed successful
showings in New York City and Los Angeles earlier in the year.
AfricAlive sponsors included Gilead Sciences, Inc.; Virgin Unite,
the charitable arm of the Virgin Group; Kodak Film; Top Design,
a graphic design firm; The Icon Photo Lab; Tadashi, the fashion
designer; Fine Art Solutions; and Metropolitan Home
Magazine.
“I tested positive at age 13.
At the time I felt so ashamed
that I didn’t even want to
disclose my status. My family
was very unhappy and felt sad
about my condition. I have been
on anti-retroviral treatment since
2004 thanks to AHF and have
gained weight and feel healthy.
I am now 19 years old.
Life is hopeful.”
Esther Nakalyango, AHF Patient, Uganda
