GROWLr LIVE presents: The World AIDS Day Panel
To mark World AIDS Day on December 1, GROWLr Live presents a very special and unique panel discussion on the state of HIV in 2022. They have invited infectious diseases experts and HIV activists to have an honest and invaluable conversation discussing topics important to GROWLr members live on the platform.
Topics that will be discussed will range from finding healthcare providers to reframing what ‘safer sex’ means in 2022, as well as diving into some statistical conversation around the differences of living in southern states and peoples’ ethnic background.
A full list of the topics for the session include:
- How to find an affirming health care provider
- Reiterating the science behind U=U and its significance
- Reframing what “safer” sex means in 2022
- How stigma against people living with HIV is still a big issue today
- Southern states and African Americans are disproportionately impacted when it comes to new HIV diagnoses. Why is this and what can be done to improve it?
- If the Biden / Harris Administration came to you and asked you what can be done to realize the goal of Ending The HIV Epidemic by 2030, what would you say?
- How can people using social media, including Growlr, help their friends, partners, and communities, learn about the numerous ways to prevent HIV?
