This article or section contains information about a planned museum. It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change as the construction and/or completion of the museum approaches.

A United States HIV/AIDS Memorial Museum, to be located in Newark, New Jersey, USA, is being planned. Its first pilot program, an exhibit of art by HIV-positive artists, was held from November 11 through December 1, 2006 at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ. The AIDS Museum's second exhibit will be hosted at Seton Hall Law School in Newark, NJ.

The mission statement of the organization is:

"The AIDS Museum will be America’s national institution for the documentation, study and interpretation of the AIDS pandemic. The mission of the Museum will be to advance and disseminate knowledge about AIDS, to preserve the memory of those who have died and continue to suffer, and to encourage visitors to reflect upon the medical, political, and humanitarian questions raised by the AIDS pandemic. The Museum will have an inspirational tone, highlighting the ways in which people have come together through organizations to creatively address the range of social and health care issues raised by the pandemic."

There is currently an AIDS Museum located in Thailand and another being developed in South Africa.

While there are AIDS memorials, exhibits, and artwork in the United States, the AIDS Museum in Newark will be the first institution of its kind in the country.
