HIV Plus magazine, established in 1998 by Anne-Christine d'Adesky, is located in Los Angeles.

HIV Plus delivers the most recent updates on research, treatment options, and economic aspects related to HIV, while also highlighting important cultural and policy issues regarding HIV both in the United States and globally. The magazine addresses topics such as societal stereotypes related to incarceration, drug use, and HIV. The publication features contributions from various writers, including fitness editor Sam Jensen Page and columnist LeRoy Whitfield. Whitfield's "Native Tongue" column has been a staple of HIV Plus since May 2004 and has gained considerable popularity among readers.
