#aidswatch

Nearly 600 HIV activists gathered in the nation’s capital April 1 and 2 for AIDSWatch, the largest HIV advocacy event of the year. After a day and evening of conferences, meetings, networking sessions, speeches and awards (more on those later), participants rallied the morning of April 2 in front of the U.S. Capitol before splitting into teams and lobbying their respective congressional representatives. (Tweets posted throughout this article capture the AIDSWatch action.)

AIDSWatch 2018 takes place at the nation’s capital Monday and Tuesday, March 26 and 27. At the annual event, more than 500 people with HIV and their allies gather for meeting and networking before lobbying their state legislators, with the goal of educating them about the policy issues important to the HIV community.
