As we reflect on the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising—a defining moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights—we also remember another pivotal chapter in LGBTQ+ history: the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

The HIV/AIDS crisis exposed the devastating effects of stigma while inspiring extraordinary resilience, advocacy, and scientific progress. Community-led activism transformed HIV care, advanced patient rights, and reshaped public health for generations to come.

Swipe through to learn about the people, milestones, and movements that changed the course of HIV care and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

🏳️‍🌈 Together, we honour the past, celebrate progress, and continue working toward a future free from stigma.

Help advance the future of diagnostic testing.

VIDC is supporting enrollment for the SL 1506-001 Minimal Risk Specimen Collection Study, a research study designed to support the development and evaluation of future diagnostic tests.

Researchers are seeking adults aged 22+ with diagnosed or suspected medical conditions who may be eligible to provide biological samples for research. Participation involves a single study visit and minimal-risk sample collection procedures similar to routine clinical care.

The samples collected may help researchers improve diagnostic tools used to detect and monitor disease in the future.
