More information:

.hiv is a proposed TLD for spreading awareness, raising funds, and joining in the fight against HIV and AIDS. The German non-profit organisation is supported by the creative agency Kempertrautmann, the online donation plattform betterplace.org, members of the ICANN community, the medical sciences community, and members of the HIV communities.[1] The application for the TLD is set to be submitted in January, 2012 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.[2]

Their main goal is for every major website to create an additional .hiv version that would forward to the standard domain (e.g. Google could run google.hiv alongside google.com), with every click on a .hiv domain resulting in a microdonation to organizations fighting HIV and AIDS, financed trough the accumulated registration fees. Users could chose whether to visit the standard web adress or the .hiv address.[3]
