About the Initiative
A statewide commitment to ending the HIV epidemic
Getting to Zero Massachusetts unites public health agencies, health care providers, researchers, and community organizations behind a shared goal: a Commonwealth with zero new HIV infections, zero preventable deaths, and zero stigma.
Our Mission
We believe ending the HIV epidemic in Massachusetts is achievable — and that it depends on the leadership of the communities most affected.
The initiative brings together partners from across the state to align prevention, treatment, and advocacy efforts. By combining rigorous data with community expertise, we work to close the gaps that keep people from the care and support they need.
The Three Zeros
Zero New Infections
Expand access to testing, PrEP, and prevention so that no one in Massachusetts acquires HIV.
Zero Preventable Deaths
Connect every person living with HIV to sustained, effective treatment and care.
Zero Stigma
Break down the stigma and discrimination that keep people from testing, care, and community.
How We Work
Prevention
Scaling up PrEP, PEP, testing, and harm-reduction services across every region of the Commonwealth.
Treatment & Care
Ensuring rapid linkage to care and durable viral suppression for everyone living with HIV.
Community Leadership
Centering the people most affected by HIV as partners and leaders in the response.
Data & Accountability
Using transparent, timely data to target resources where they will make the greatest difference.
