🌈 Happy Pride Month!
We celebrate the resilience, leadership, and advocacy of LGBTQ+ communities while honoring individuals whose courage helped shape the fight against HIV stigma, discrimination, and health inequities.

We'll be spotlighting inspiring advocates including Ryan White, Matthew Shepard, and Phill Wilson, whose stories continue to remind us of the importance of compassion, dignity, equality, and access to quality healthcare for all.

Together, we remain committed to advancing health equity, supporting our communities, and creating spaces where everyone is respected, valued, and empowered.

At University of Chicago Medicine, PACT's work sits at the intersection of care, community, and discovery. We provide HIV/STI clinical services grounded in respect and accessibility, while advancing research that pushes prevention and treatment forward.
Every test, every conversation, every study participant represents a step toward reducing stigma, expanding knowledge, and improving health outcomes. Our team is committed to meeting people where they are—offering compassionate care today while building the evidence that shapes tomorrow.
PACT is more than a program—it’s a partnership with the communities we serve, driven by trust, science, and a shared goal of ending HIV and improving s*xual health for all.
