World AIDS Day 2025

Remembrance

On World AIDS Day, we remember the friends, lovers, family, and community we have lost to HIV and AIDS. More than 44 million people worldwide have lost their lives to this epidemic, and it is not over.

Hope during dark times

We come together to advocate for the funding, the services, the recognition, and our lives as transgender communities, LGBTQ+ people, Black and Brown people, immigrants, people who use substances, and others living with and affected by HIV are under attack. We have survived dark times before, and we must not give up hope. We fight for what we know is possible.

Honoring our strength, resilience, and innovation

We recognize how our strength and resilience have brought us to a new era in the HIV movement. There will always be setbacks, but we continue to press forward.

Always together / Siempre Juntos: World AIDS Day 2025

Join us for a heartfelt gathering that presents Indigenous and Latine ceremony in remembrance and hope. Cultural music, Aztec dancing, shared food, altar offerings, and blessings surrounded by the beauty of the AIDS Memorial Grove.
