AIDS @ 30
Unless you are in your 40's you don't remember a time without AIDS. And if you're in your 20's you won't remember a time when AIDS wasn't treatable in this world - when it was a death sentence. HIV has changed our world in profound ways.
We will [...]tell our stories on November 30.
Stories from those who were in the Congo when the virus was first discovered; in Vietnam when the government decided to fund treatment; and in the US when communities decided to come together instead of pushing each other away.
Join us in reflecting on the impact that HIV has had on our world, our lives and our communities.
