Today, June 5, is HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day.
We honour the resilience, strength, and leadership of people living long-term with HIV, trailblazers whose lived experiences continue to shape advocacy, care, and community.
As long-term survivors age, itโs vital they are not only seen, supported, and celebrated, but also cared for through systems that are inclusive, responsive, and grounded in dignity.
We reflect on our roots at 2Spirits and the Queensland Council for LGBTI Health, alongside the many individuals and communities who have stood strong in solidarity with people living with HIV, through every challenge and milestone.
At a time in our collective story where we face new issues and ways of working for our communities, we remember those lessons that long term survivors of HIV continue to share with us, and inspire us by, to remain committed and willing to do the work that is needed.
