HIV is now highly-preventable and very treatable. Through proper care, progression to AIDs can be prevented and risk of transmission to partners can be ZERO. HIV/AIDs Awareness Day recognizes that those living with HIV can live long, healthy lives.
This didn’t happen overnight, or without a fight. Advocates, many belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community, fought incredibly hard through deep stigma, bias, and discrimination so that all of us can have access to care.
The work is not over. Stigma remains a large barrier to prevention and treatment. We must work together as physicians, community members, advocates, and neighbors for a healthier world.
