AIDS Action Alliance was established in 1986 as a national co-ordinating group for voluntary organisations working on AIDS. The constituent groups were: *AIDS Helpline Dublin, Cairde, Gay Health Action, Body Positive Group, Women and AIDS Group, Youth Action Project Ballymun, Practical AID, Western AIDS Action Alliance, Cork AIDS Alliance and Irish Frontliners. Support was also received from a wide range of affiliated groups, such as Trade Unions, Professional Associations, Women's Groups, etc. The aim of AIDS Action Alliance was to identify and meet the needs of their constituent groups, provide central resources, and to co-ordinate the work of various groups working in the area of AIDS in Ireland.

*AIDS Helpline Dublin was established in April 1987 by AIDS Action Alliance. The original volunteers were already trained in other services like Women And AIDS, Gay Health Action, Tel-A-Friend and Cairde.
