PATRIOTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!

Always good to have you back.

On a red gradient background with HRC branding, white and pink text reads, "You have to find some people who have a judgment-free view of HIV. You have to have people who simply love and support you, and for many people, that's a challenge." Attributed to Tori Cooper, HRC Director of Strategic Outreach & Training and a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV and AIDS (PACHA)

“A group often forgotten about in the discussion of HIV – despite research pointing to an ongoing crisis – is Black women. Specifically those who live in the South."

We cannot go back: Act now to save HIV funding Urge your members of Congress to fully fund federal HIV programs as they negotiate final funding levels for the FY 2026 LHHS spending bill.

On #WorldAIDSDay, your voice is critical. Congress is considering unprecedented cuts of nearly $2 billion to HIV prevention, care and workforce programs.

Tell lawmakers to protect these vital services and support the Senate LHHS funding levels: https://idsociety.quorum.us/campaign/148562/

This #WorldAIDSDay, we are highlighting the voices of young people living with HIV. In #DRC, HIV+ youth face stigma and isolation.

Through MSF-supported youth clubs, they find a safe space to speak openly and access medical and psychosocial support.

Fear and uncertainty hang over much of the HIV community this #WorldAIDSDay as we reflect on lives lost, progress made and current efforts to unravel our country’s HIV response. Action must follow our reflection this year.

December 1st is World AIDS Day

HIV stigma is still one of the biggest barriers to care, but storytelling can shift culture.

This #WorldAIDSDay, GLAAD celebrates the advocates, artists, content creators, and community leaders using their voices to challenge misinformation and reimagine what HIV representation looks like in media.

On a black background, a white and red gradient outline box appears, along with red and white text that reads, "World AIDS Day." The HRC Logo appears.

On World AIDS Day, we honor the lives of those lost to HIV and the resilience of those who have paved the way for progress.

We must continue to fight against cuts to treatment, prevention, and research.
Today is not just a day for remembrance — it's a call for action.

HIVMA and fellow members of the Emergency HIV Clinical Response Task Force warn that proposed federal funding cuts could severely disrupt HIV prevention, care, and treatment nationwide.

Go vote - it's Election Day!

Voting in state and local elections has a huge impact on LGBTQ rights nationwide, as most of the discriminatory bills we challenge originate in state legislatures.

I’m fundraising for Florida’s Second Harvest food bank if you’d like to help!

We are taking the #CutsKill Quilt Rally to IDWeek! If you aren't able to join us in person, tune in on our Instagram LIVE this Sunday, Oct. 20 @ 12:30 PM ET. #saveHIVfunding

IDWeek is a few days away and we are highlighting a few HIV-related sessions that you may want to attend. This symposium will discuss therapeutic options and implementation strategies for HIV prevention. View the full IDWeek schedule here: https://bit.ly/48oDcnt

“I want to tell [queer and trans kids] there’s nothing wrong with who they are, conversion therapy is a lie, and they deserve to live a life authentically. Your identity is beautiful, you’re a miracle, and don’t let conversion therapy take that away.” Civil Rights Attorney Ryan Kendall

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a landmark case, Chiles v. Salazar, concerning Colorado’s state law protecting LGBTQ youth from so-called “conversion therapy." Learn more about the case: glaad.org/fact-sheet-l...

worse TED talk ever

i think that style is called facist core

We can end the HIV epidemic in Massachusetts. PrEP can nearly eliminate HIV transmission. But many people still can't access this game-changing medication.

H.1245/S.717 gives us a path forward. This bill will make PrEP widely available and bring us closer to ending the HIV epidemic for good.

PrEP is a proven tool to stop HIV transmission, but only 35% of people at risk for HIV in Massachusetts are using it.

H.1245/S.717 will remove barriers, expand access, and safeguard HIV prevention in MA—no matter what happens on the federal level.

starting to save now to build in a pyrotechnic show for my wake.

purple graphic with text that reads, "LGBTQ+ elders deserve HIV justice."

purple graphic with text that reads, "54% of all people in the United States living with HIV are over 50 years old."

purple graphic with text that reads, "LGBTQ+ elders living with HIV deserve improved access to quality HIV health care & age-affirming services; access to tailored sexual health education & services; protection from stigma & discrimination in healthcare, long-term care, home, & community-based services; and advocates who speak up & refuse to be silent about their needs."

purple graphic with text that reads, "Sources for this post include the CDC's 2022 HIV Surveillance Report and the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law's 2024 report titled Better Integration Between HIV and Aging Systems Is Critical."

40 years ago, the idea that someone with HIV would live decades was unimaginable; now people with HIV are living well into their golden years. We believe LGBTQ+ elders living with HIV deserve to age with dignity.

Honor National HIV & Aging Awareness Day by sharing this post. ❤️

More than half of people living with HIV in the U.S. are 50+—a powerful reminder of resilience, progress, and the need for continued care and support. We must urge Congress to protect HIV funding and programs so we don’t lose this progress! Call your Reps here: bit.ly/4m0qpuG #NHAAD
