Fighting to End HIV Since 1983
MAP Years (1983-2017)
The Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP) was founded and focused on programs and prevention measures for a disease that was only just beginning to emerge into the national consciousness. As new treatment options and services emerged for people living with HIV by the end of the decade, people living with HIV were able to live much longer lives.
The Merger Years (2018-2020)
The organization expanded its vision further when MAP merged with Rainbow Health Initiative and Training to Serve to include research, education, advocacy, counseling, and partnering with other community organizations to impact policy reform. These services became crucial in dismantling barriers that people living with HIV and/or part of the LGBTQ+ community face while navigating health care systems. We worked to empower people living with HIV to lead healthier lives.
Rainbow Health Years (2021-)
Today, Rainbow Health commits itself to ending HIV in Minnesota through equitable health care access. Our legacy fighting injustice and health disparities within the HIV and LGBTQ+ communities in Minnesota has given us insight and experience that we will continue to bring to the broader movements towards health equity.
