When talking about those impacted by HIV, we must remember the aging population living with it.
Today, on HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day, we’re doing just that by actively calling out the struggles that come with HIV and the immense strength it takes to overcome the obstacles that arise when aging with the disease.
We must continue to protect this population through ongoing advocacy and proper care.
