Donate your Medicines
The HIV Medicine Recycling Program was designed to help and assist those without access to HIV/AIDS treatment in Latin American countries.
The Medicine Recycling Program of Action for Solidarity began in 1997 with the support of a group of local Miami doctors, pharmacies, case managers, social workers, people living with HIV, and volunteers who traveled (from the United States to Venezuela) carrying our medicines donations in their luggage and delivering them to our sister organization Acción Solidaria A.C.
Venezuela’s health crisis has drastically deteriorated to the point where the country has faced a complex humanitarian emergency since 2016. As a result, we have expanded our efforts and created our Health Humanitarian Response Program to support people with HIV and those suffering from other chronic diseases. Visit Action4Help to learn more about this vital initiative.
We need the support of everybody: doctors, case managers, health professionals, and most importantly, friends living with HIV and the community worldwide to allow us to extend our Solidarity and to assist those with HIV/AIDS in Venezuela.
If you or someone you know have medicines that are no longer going to be used, if you are living with HIV and have stopped taking your medication or switched to a different regimen and don’t know what to do with your extra or unused prescriptions, please DONATE YOUR MEDS to Action for Solidarity’s Medicines Recycli
