We don't ask for money. We don't ask for fame, praise, or material goods.
All we want for Christmas is affordable HIV meds for our people.

It's been a rough season and an even rougher year. But never forget:
We LOVE our community and we love ourselves.
Happy Holidays to all people living with HIV!

It's Human Rights Day.
People living with HIV have a right to treatment, housing, & healthcare.
People with HIV have a right to live free of stigma.
Join the @HIVCaucus in creating a world where the rights of people living with HIV are guaranteed.
Q: Why doesn't the @HIVCaucus speak on behalf of silent community members?
A: Because we respect consent and ardently follow the principle of "Nothing about us without us."

Pressingly, we don't want to get the message wrong or risk possibly endangering someone who was unprepared for attention.
We refuse to imitate people who lack lived experience but make decisions on our behalf without consulting us.

"We don't need permission to keep honoring #WorldAIDSDay.
We don't need permission to fight.
And we don't need permission to LIVE."

As Kamaria Laffrey says, we don't need permission to honor World AIDS Day, to fight, or to live.
Happy World AIDS Day.

"The only people who the HIV Caucus disavows are those who act with hate. If you must participate in Black Friday sales, please shop with companies that act with love.
If they want our money, force them to show that they deserve it."
