Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart, beloved for his iconic roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films. Beyond the screen, he spoke out for LGBTQ+ rights and marriage equality, advocating for a world where everyone can live and love openly. His talent and commitment to equality remain an enduring part of his legacy. Rest in peace #NOH8

Owning our sexual health means having honest, respectful, & Friendly conversations. Sharing a diagnosis isn’t abt blame/shame- it’s abt giving someone the info they need to take care of themselves and their partners. #FriendlyPig #STIstigmafree

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned that silence in the face of injustice is a choice. The fight against HIV is inseparable from the fight for civil rights—ending stigma, expanding access to care and ensuring that people with HIV are treated with humanity.

#HumanRightsDay reminds us that HIV work is human rights work. Everyone deserves accurate info, affirming care & access to tools that protect health. #UequalsU is essential. Undetectable means untransmittable. Ending HIV is possible when we lead with people equity and evidence.
World AIDS Day is a day to remember those we’ve lost and to reenergize our fight against HIV stigma.
The fight isn’t over. Know your local resources and share them.
Have an idea.
Do the things.
There is hope in action.
