Our vision is of a world where people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS can enjoy life free from stigma, discrimination, and persecution, andhave access to prevention, treatment and care.

The ICASO network of networks operates globally, regionally and locally,and reaches over 100 countries internationally. ICASO operates from its

International Secretariat in Canada and through Regional Secretariatsbased in five continents.
