Today is an international day dedicated to raising awareness about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and mourning those who have died of the disease. Today is an opportunity for the international community to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an HIV-related illness.
Amid COVID-19 pandemic and international focus on coronavirus, Collectif Les Bastards is committed to do our utmost through the means available to us to remind the public that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise funds, increase awareness, fight prejudice, make treatment more available for all and especially for q***r folks, and improve education on the subject.
Aiming to improve knowledge about the HIV pandemic, in October 2021 we premiered with our play Hurler à la mer, a testimony of one patient that aims to confront the audience into breaking the taboo surrounding HIV and AIDS. In the image accompanying this post, you will see the latest illustration representing the entire crew of the collectif.
We wish you an insightful World AIDS Day. Get tested and know your status. And remember, World AIDS Day may be once a year, but you can still support people living with HIV all year round.
