The mission of the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center is to increase awareness of the AIDS epidemic by documenting the history of HIV/AIDS, remembering the people who suffered from this disease, educating people about HIV/AIDS, enlightening the world to this continuing tragedy and empowering the survivors.

By doing this we hope to decrease stigma and stereotypes associated with HIV/AIDS, inspire people to get tested, increase need for treatment and educate people about prevention.
