HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day 2026

Celebrate HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day with us at this special dinner event. Join us in honouring the resilience and contributions of long-term survivors and people living with HIV.

If you are aged 50 years and over, and living with HIV, or a long-term survivor of HIV (more than 25 years), come join us for dinner on HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day. Celebrate the resilience, hope and optimism of long-term survivors and people living with HIV. Hear their stories of change and challenges, and honour their past contributions at this special event. Be entertained by community members who will be sharing their artistic talent.  Carers and partners of people living with HIV are welcome.

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day marks the anniversary of the first official reporting of what became known as the AIDS epidemic on 5 June 1981 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HIV Long-Term Survivors are a diverse group of people, including those diagnosed with HIV before the advent of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in 1996.
