Mission

The Estonian Association Anti-AIDS is a non-profit association involved with the prevention of HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

The first case of HIV infection in Estonia was registered in 1988. In 1990, when there was no national prevention organisation, the Estonian Association Anti-AIDS was founded by volunteers (doctors, scientists, teachers, cultural workers, religious leaders, youth workers). The association developed a prevention strategy that formed the basis for the State AIDS Prevention Programme approved by the Government of the Republic of Estonia in 1992.
