DESCRIPTION:

June 5, 1981 is the day the Centers for Disease Control initially described a new disease that seemed to attack gay men. That disease would eventually be called AIDS and the virus identified in 1985 as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV. During its first few years, AIDS and HIV were a virtual death sentence for anyone who caught it. Over 39 million people worldwide have died from the disease.

By the early 1990s, treatments began to create longevity and the number of people killed by the virus declined. Today, a high percentage of those who contract the disease survive and live long and happy lives. Today, nearly 37 million people live with the disease.

HIV Long-term Survivors Day is about celebrating the people who continue to battle HIV, but have survived. This event first appeared in 2014. It was created by Tea Anderson and is supported by a number of governmental and NGO organizations worldwide.
