Stephen Gendin (February 20, 1966 – July 19, 2000) was an American AIDS activist in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, whose advocacy is credited for having promoted constructive changes in government policy that would improve the lives of HIV-positive people.
Gendin was involved with ACT UP, ActUp/RI, Sex Panic!, Community Prescription Service, POZ Magazine, and the Radical Faeries.
Gendin, whom himself was HIV-positive, dedicated the last fifteen years of his life to help care for those also living with HIV/AIDS.
He was a founder and the chief executive of the Community Prescription Service, a mail-order pharmacy service that also distributes information designed to help people with HIV and AIDS.
