From 1996-2002, Davids was a senior staff person at Philadelphia FIGHT, Pennsylvania’s largest AIDS service organization, as the co-founder of Project TEACH (Treatment Education Activists Combatting HIV), one of the nation’s first HIV treatment education and advocacy training programs; Director of Education and Advocacy; and as Director of the Critical Path AIDS Project.
In 2002, Davids was awarded the Charles H.

In 2003, she founded CHAMP as a New York City-based organization with the assistance of the founding Board of Directors. Currently, she serves as co-chair of the Federal AIDS Policy Partnership and its Community Mobilization working group.
