Working with community groups over the past 3 year to document, understand, and learn from the Canadian response to the contemporary mpox outbreak has helped me recognize that so many outside affected communities are unaware of the impact of HIV on our world.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

We saw political activism and medical breakthroughs turn infection from a death sentence to a chronic disease. We've seen the same medical advances applied to other viruses with no recognition of their origins. We saw HIV-related mortality turn from a scientific problem to a social/political one.

Dec 1 will always be World AIDS Day to me.

I am of the US/CAN microgeneration that grew up alongside the unfolding pandemic. We came of age with "safe sex is hot sex".

El #diamundialdelsida solo quiero decir que algún día acabaremos con el estigma y va a ser más pronto que tarde. Y gracias a los mismos que podemos decir que es una enfermedad tratable: las personas que viven con VIH y ponen el cuerpo cada día

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
