When fear keeps people from walking through clinic doors, public health suffers.

New reporting highlights how ICE presence and growing barriers to HIV medication are disrupting, threatening years of progress, especially for Latino communities already facing higher HIV diagnosis rates.

Thank you to Uncloseted Media for featuring Aliveness and lifting up this work during this ongoing federal occupation.

In Minneapolis, heightened immigration enforcement is disrupting HIV care for Latino communities, a group already disproportionately affected by the virus.

March is Bisexual Health Awareness Month 💜💙💗

Bi+ people make up the largest group in the LGBTQ+ community but many are less likely to be tested for HIV due to stigma.

Aliveness is here with affirming care, testing, and PrEP for all.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon whose impact shaped both politics and public health.

At a time when stigma silenced too many, Rev. Jackson was a powerful voice for HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention. He championed mass education, voluntary testing, and federal investment in research, all while prioritizing compassion over fear. By encouraging Black leaders to publicly get tested, he challenged stigma head-on. His advocacy bridged civil rights and health equity, insisting that dignity, access to care, and the fight against discrimination are inseparable.

As we honor his legacy, we remain inspired by his unwavering fight for justice and commitment to health equity. We carry his torch forward by working to ensure everyone receives the care they deserve.

Rest in power, Rev. Jesse Jackson.

🚨 URGENT: Minnesota’s HIV Prevention Funding Is at Risk

The Trump Administration is moving to cut more than $600 million in CDC public health funding, including dollars that support HIV and STI prevention right here in Minnesota.

If these cuts move forward, we risk losing:
• HIV & STI prevention programs
• Disease surveillance and outbreak response
• Community testing and outreach services
• Critical public health infrastructure

These programs save lives. Demand Congress to protect Minnesota’s public health funding.

Nearly $600 million in federal public health funding could be stripped from four Democratic-led states, including Minnesota, under a new proposal from the Trump administration.

The rescission would cut funds Congress already approved for the CDC.

These cuts would eliminate grants to state and local health departments and community partners for essential public health work because the Trump administration says the awards are “inconsistent with agency priorities.”

In Minnesota, these cuts could gut funding for HIV prevention, STI testing and treatment, sexual health services, and q***r health care. They would also weaken, outbreak response and the public health workforce that keeps our communities safe.

We are still assessing the impact, but these rescissions will undermine Minnesota’s public health system and put our communities at risk.

Donate to Aliveness today to support HIV prevention and ensure our Q***r community stays connected to care. https://aliveness.org/donation/
