The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania is a nonprofit public-interest law firm based in Philadelphia that offers free legal assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS and those affected by the epidemic. It handles a broad spectrum of legal issues, including discrimination, access to healthcare, end-of-life planning documents, Social Security disability and welfare benefits, housing, insurance coverage, immigration, and financial concerns. Established in 1988, the organization also educates the public about AIDS-related legal issues and engages in efforts to shape fair laws and policies at local, state, and national levels. Operating within the legal services field, it serves as a resource for Pennsylvanians facing legal challenges linked to HIV/AIDS. From its Philadelphia home office, it both delivers free legal aid and pursues broader policy change through public education and advocacy. In May 2020, the organization co-filed a class-action lawsuit against Gilead Sciences in California concerning the company's mailings to users of HIV prevention drugs.
