Members shared how they planned to honor HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day on June 5, with many noting they had never heard of the day before and agreeing it deserves more awareness. Several members described meaningful ways they were marking the occasion, including attending a support group Zoom called Pillow Talk, a Let's Kick ASS Palm Springs dinner, and a local survivor event, while one member shared a touching moment of grief for a partner lost to suicide. A recurring theme was quiet pride in survival, with members embracing the hopeful idea that long-term survivors may one day outlive the condition itself.

I, too, have never heard of this special day. I am seeing my doctor today, and found that I am having an emotional breakdown about my lover who was also HIV+, and who shot himself in 2017 for some reason 😢, but that has nothing to do with the day itself. I will contemplate this.
