HIV funding is lifesaving. It’s how we stopped the AIDS Crisis.
Half of Congress is trying to eliminate HIV-prevention programs. If we don’t stop them now, they’ll be targeting HIV treatment next.
Tell Congress to fully fund HIV-prevention & treatment services.

Evany Turk reminds us to ensure that rehabilitation & assisted living facilities are doing right by older people living with HIV.
Sometimes facilities hold onto our community members even when they're ready to go because they are making money off of their benefits.
