Philadelphia is adding a new resource to its effort to end the HIV epidemic – a 'one-stop shop' resource finder. The new service allows Philadelphians to search for treatment and prevention resources throughout the city, providing access to critical resources for many types of users, including community members and case management providers.

Why it matters

This resource is part of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, a federal program that includes Philadelphia and 47 other counties, aiming to reduce HIV infections in these areas by 90% by 2030. The city has also focused on increasing the number of Philadelphians who know their HIV status and helping newly diagnosed HIV patients get proper treatment.

The details

The searchable directory is available through Philly Keep on Loving – the health department's sexual health and wellness resource. It offers multiple avenues to filtering resources, including keyword search, drop-down menus, and filtering by county. Resources include food banks, emergency financial assistance, harm reduction, and outpatient care options. The website is available in English and Spanish, and providers can offer translation services for other languages.

  • The latest available data from 2022-23 shows that new HIV infections have gone down in the city from 440 in 2017 to 310 in 2022.
  • The resource finder was launched in early January 2026.

What they’re saying

“It was really important that we developed a tool that was usable by two really different user types. One is for community members, maybe people with HIV or their family members or friends, or people who are just generally interested in knowing what's out there. And secondly were those who we describe as 'super users,' which we really think of as case management providers and navigation providers, who are people who directly work to connect people to resources.”

— Anna Thomas-Ferraioli, Ending the HIV Epidemic Advisor, Philadelphia Health Department (billypenn.com)

“[Once we're] really able to get into the community and highlight this resource tool at community events, in small groups to people and have those face-to-face conversations, we're expecting these numbers of utilization of the website to expand increasingly, especially as we ramp up for Pride this summer.”

— James Garrow, Communications Director, City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health (billypenn.com)

What’s next

The city will continue community outreach to promote the resource finder, and will monitor the impact on care-seeking behavior and outcomes over time.

The takeaway

This new HIV resource finder provides Philadelphians with a comprehensive, accessible 'one-stop shop' to find critical treatment and prevention services, supporting the city's broader efforts to end the HIV epidemic and ensure all individuals with HIV can lead healthy, full lives.
