TAMPA BAY, FL, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- RiseUpToHIV LLC has unveiled a new resource site designed to provide comprehensive HIV education, community connection, and practical resources for individuals living with the virus. The site, which is built on the foundation of the founder Kevin Maloney's 16 years of living with HIV, offers a wealth of information and support to those navigating the complexities of HIV care and advocacy. The public Community Preview of the site is set to run from October 1 to November 30, 2026, allowing users to explore the site and provide feedback to help shape its future development.
The site, which is available at riseuptohiv.com, was created by Kevin Maloney from his home office in Tampa Bay, Florida. Maloney, who has lived with HIV since his diagnosis in 2010, has self-funded the project, dedicating eight months and 800 hours of development to the site. The site's development was supported by publications such as TheBody and POZ, which provided valuable information and support to Maloney during his initial years of living with HIV. In addition, he found solace and support through care and support groups at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center.
The site brings together articles about treatment, prevention, wellness, relationships, HIV history, and everyday life, as well as educational quizzes and shareable fact cards. Readers can also explore the science and personal meaning of Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U), find information about medication assistance, and learn about the experiences of long-term survivors.
The site also features a Community and Wellness hub, which connects readers with information about support groups, food assistance, mental health resources, arts and culture, and places to gather. The site also includes a Voices Rising space for sharing stories, check-ins, short posts, helpful links, and memorials. A Community Pledge invites people of any HIV status to challenge stigma and support dignity and access to care. Separate routes connect visitors with national directories, and readers should confirm services, eligibility, costs, and appointment availability directly with providers.
The site's Policy hub explains access, rights, and self-advocacy, and connects readers with organizations leading that work. The site complements established HIV publications and community organizations by directing readers to their reporting, resources, and services. Links and listings do not imply partnerships or endorsements. The site's development was aided by AI tools, including Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT, which were used for research, drafting, organization, and web development. Maloney retains editorial control and responsibility, and the site explains the process and provides sourcing and correction policies.
During the Community Preview, visitors are encouraged to report unclear language, outdated information, missing resources, and problems using the site. Organizations are invited to review pages relevant to their work, with care-related corrections receiving priority. The site's focus is on education, community, and resources, and visitors can explore RiseUpToHIV.com and participate through the Community Preview page. The About page explains Maloney's background, the build, and his disclosures.
