A Brief History

VIVAIDS, the Victorian Drug User Organisation, is a community-based, not-for-profit incorporated association, founded in 1987 in deirect response to the threat of an HIV/AIDS epidemic among people who use drugs in Australia.

Since then, VIVAIDS' focus has expanded to include a wide range of health and social issues including the Hepatitis C epidemic, drug-related overdose, addressing emerging harms associated with the use of party-drugs and amphetamine-type substances, opioid substitution pharmacotherapies and other need and issues as they arise.
