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/
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. ❤️

Today is Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (SHAAD)!

The South continues to face the highest burden of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., disproportionately impacting Black and Hispanic communities. It’s a day to raise awareness, fight stigma, and push for equity in prevention, care, and treatment.
