ACET Ireland’s mission is to impact church and society in Ireland to effectively respond to HIV. ACET aims to contribute to a post-HIV Ireland, where:

Obviously part of the vision is to see a day when HIV is no longer a threat, but eliminating HIV altogether involves a medical solution that at the moment ACET will not be part of. In the meantime, our education work can help prevent the spread of HIV, and it can also help tackle the stigma associated with HIV, which helps to eliminate the effects of HIV. Our care work can help clients to move past the point where their main identity is as a HIV+ person. As the care team works with clients, it has been exciting to see them set their own goals and to reawaken dreams for their own lives. As they move away from addictions, and manage the effects of HIV, we have seen clients take on new activities and gain a new enthusiasm for life.

ACET is a voluntary organisation established in Dublin in 1992 as a Christian response to HIV and the related issues of sexual health and drug dependency. We provide Education, Training and Community Care services throughout Ireland, with an office in Dublin. ACET is registered as a company limited by guarantee and as a charitable organisation in the Republic of Ireland (216398-CHY 10732).
