People who are living with HIV, who have their centre of life in Switzerland, who are in a financial emergency situation in connection with living with HIV, who are in need and who are unable to provide for their living independently or through support are eligible. There is no legal claim to benefits.

Only institutions that provide social counselling for people with HIV are eligible to apply, not those affected themselves.

The applying institution fills out the form and sends it in by e-mail. Applications are examined quickly and unbureaucratically by the Swiss AIDS Federation office.
