Advertising Disclosure

Our commitment to transparency and editorial independence.

Last Updated: June 27, 2025

Our mission at hivhiv.org is to provide clear, compassionate, and credible information about HIV/AIDS. To keep our content free and accessible, we fund our operations through a few carefully selected methods. Maintaining the trust of our audience is paramount, and this disclosure explains how we make money.

Our Funding Model

Hivhiv.org is primarily funded through affiliate marketing partnerships. We may also, in the future, accept sponsored content from organizations that align with our mission. Each of these is explained below.

Affiliate Links

Throughout our site, you may see links to products and services, such as on our "At-Home HIV Test Kits" review page. These links may be "affiliate links."

This means that if you click on the link and make a purchase from the third-party website, we may receive a small commission or referral fee. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you. The price you pay for the product or service is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's site.

These commissions help us cover the costs of running this website, including research, writing, web hosting, and community moderation, allowing us to keep our core information free for everyone.

Our Commitment to Editorial Independence

Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. Our primary goal is to provide accurate, unbiased, and helpful information.

  • We only recommend products and services that we have thoroughly researched and believe will provide value to our readers.
  • Our reviews and recommendations are based on our own analysis and are not influenced by advertisers or affiliate partnerships.
  • We will always clearly identify affiliate links or sections containing them, so you know when we may receive a commission.

Sponsored Content

In the future, hivhiv.org may accept sponsored articles or content from organizations that align with our mission and values. Any such sponsored content will be clearly and conspicuously marked as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "In Partnership With" to distinguish it from our independent editorial content.

Why We Are Telling You This

Your trust is our most important asset. We believe in being transparent about how we operate and generate revenue. We want you to be confident that the information you find on hivhiv.org is credible, accurate, and created with your best interests at heart.

If you have any questions about our advertising practices or this disclosure, please do not hesitate to contact us.
