HIV is a health condition — not your identity. This video reminds us that people living with HIV are leaders, parents, artists, workers, partners, and dreamers. Treatment works. Stigma harms. Knowledge empowers:

“Como activista, defensora, humanitaria y madre, mi meta es dejar este mundo mejor de como lo encontré. Viviendo una vida marcada por muchas de las dificultades del mundo, encuentro alegría en mi comunidad y mi familia. Ellos son quienes me mantienen adelante, especialmente en estos tiempos de incertidumbre. Siempre lucharé por estar del lado correcto de la historia.”

Medicaid is the backbone of HIV care in the U.S., covering 40% of adults living with HIV. Yet, recent federal funding cuts and new administrative barriers threaten to reverse decades of progress, putting lifesaving HIV care and prevention out of reach for many, especially for communities of color.

Protecting Medicaid protects public health, strengthens communities, and keeps the nation on track to end the HIV epidemic!
