The dotHIV initiative uses all surpluses from the allocation of .hiv domain names to support organizations which advocate the access to life-saving HIV medicines. For companies and individuals their .hiv domain is an easy way to show social commitment. The .hiv pages incorporate online users and thus provide visibility for the dedication: Each click on a .hiv domain triggers a micro-donation and activates the funds collected through the domain distribution for the social purpose.

“dotHIV developed a unique concept to generate attention for the fight against HIV/AIDS and for the affected people that we are glad to support as a registrar partner“, states Alexander Siffrin, CEO of Key-Systems. “The initiative allows us to use our main competency, the domain registration, to make a valuable contribution to society.”
