HIV Long Term Survivors Day

Celebrate the Sacrifice of Lives for Generations

We recognize the remarkable strength, resilience, and lived experience of long-term HIV survivors—those who have not only endured but also shaped the course of the HIV movement over decades.

Long-Term Survivors Day is more than a moment of reflection—it’s a call to action. A call to listen to their stories. To acknowledge the isolation and stigma many still face. To celebrate the progress, while recognizing the work still to be done. Their lives are a testament to subsequent generations of PLWHA who benefit from their sacrifices to find better treatment and services.

Whether you’ve been part of this journey since the beginning or are just learning, we invite you to stand with us today in community, remembrance, and hope.

Ways to Honor Long-Term Survivors Today:

  • 🕯 Light a candle or share a memory
  • 🗣 Listen to a survivor’s story or share your own
  • 🤝 Reach out to someone who’s lived through the early epidemic
  • 📣 Advocate for policies that support aging with HIV
