A DAY WITH HIV-24 HOURS IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY HIV
ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22, 2022
GET IN THE PICTURE
POSITIVELY AWARE magazine presents A Day with HIV, anti-stigma campaign. A Day with HIV captures 24 hours in the lives of people affected by HIV—that’s everyone, regardless of status. Photography and the power of storytelling combine to confront stigma. Get in the picture, and share your story with the world.
Every year, A Day with HIV coincides with the autumnal equinox—one of only two days of the year when day and night are the same length. It signifies balance; in some ancient cultures, the equinox also signaled a time for change. What better day to take your best shot against stigma?
