About Love Heals
Love Heals, the Alison Gertz Foundation for AIDS Education,
empowers young people in the fight against HIV. Their
HIV-positive speakers are putting a face on the epidemic,
and their youth empowerment programs are training a new
generation of community educators and activists. Love Heals
also creates and distributes educational materials, shares
its expertise and advocates for young people's right to
HIV/AIDS education. They operate in partnership with
hundreds of schools and community groups throughout New York
City and the surrounding areas, reaching both young people
and those individuals who impact their lives, and placing a
special emphasis on outreach to high-risk communities.
Alison Gertz, the inspiration behind the organization, was
infected with HIV through a single sexual encounter when she
was 16. Soon after discovering she had AIDS, Ali made her
story public in an effort to help others and quickly rose to
become an internationally recognized spokesperson for AIDS
awareness and prevention. After Ali died in 1992, her three
best friends Stefani Greenfield, Victoria Leacock Hoffman
and Dini von Mueffling continued her mission by cofounding
Love Heals. Today, the foundation reaches more than 40,000
young people each year.
