Today is Awareness Day.

Through groundbreaking scientific advancements in HIV treatment and prevention, including the introduction of long-acting injectables, we know that Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) and that is 99% effective in preventing HIV.

Still, in 2026, HIV criminalization laws persist across 32 states in the US and today we say, enough is enough.

As former Congressmember Barbara Lee says, "HIV criminalization laws are based on bias, not science. Instead of making our communities healthier, these laws breed fear, discrimination, distrust, and hatred."

We know these dated policies are ineffective, assist stigma and harm communities already disproportionately impacted by the AIDS epidemic.

Together, let's recommit to saying NO to HIV criminalization and ensuring greater protections for people living HIV.

For this final week's bio, we're chatting about Kiara St. James and the New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG)!

NYTAG is a grassroots, trans-led organization advocating for inclusive gender-based policies for trans and nonbinary communities. They aim to create an equitable society for all by empowering individuals, educating providers and communities and influencing legislation and policy. We're proud to work alongside incredible thinkers and leaders at NYTAG when we advocate for equitable, gender-inclusive policies across New York State! Learn more about them at: nytag.org

Kiara St. James (she/her) is the founder and executive director of NYTAG. From tackling discriminatory shelter policies to presenting at international conferences about the needs of marginalized communities, St. James' work is deeply informed by her own intersectional identity as a Black trans woman. In 2019, she was instrumental in the passage of the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which added gender identity and expression as protected classes to New York State's human rights and hate crimes laws.

Please share the love for all that NYTAG and Kiara St. James have done for our communities!

Last week, Callen-Lorde staff, community advisory board members and patients made the trek to Albany to meet with state legislators and share the meaningful and material impact Callen-Lorde has on our community.

From protecting access to healthcare, to expanding PrEP access especially with the introduction of long-acting injectables, to investing in community healthcare centers including the need of tele-health services, Callen-Lorde is showing us what it means to speak truth to power.

But as we know, advocacy doesn’t end in a day and Callen-Lorde can use our help to keep the momentum going. Help support their advocacy efforts by donating to their Advocacy Fund at callen-lorde.org/action and help them reach their goal of $10K. Let’s keep the fight going!

We're back with more in our series. Today, we're doing a double-feature with Doctors Oni and Uché Blackstock, two twin sisters and champions of health equity.

The Blackstock sisters grew up in Brooklyn and later followed in their mother's footsteps to both become doctors.

Dr. Oni Blackstock (she/her) is a primary care and HIV physician, researcher and the founder and Executive Director of Health Justice, a racial and health equity consulting firm that helps health care and public health organizations center anti-racism and equity. Previously, she was the former Assistant Commissioner at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where she was recognized for her efforts in addressing HIV in the city. She has also held prestigious teaching positions and conducted vital clinical research on prevention and treatment of HIV in disproportionately impacted communities. Notably, she is a previous recipient of the Community Health Award from Callen-Lorde!

Dr. Uché Blackstock (she/her) is an emergency physician, former associate professor and the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity. Her organization aims to create a healthcare system that is equitable, rooted in justice and designed to enable every person to thrive. Dr. Blackstock was one of the many providers on the frontlines of COVID-19. During that time, she used her social media to speak directly to the world about her experience as a physician and the racial disparities exposed by the pandemic. She played a pivotal role as a trusted expert, sharing responsible and accurate information with the public, and continues to use her platform to advocate for a more just system. She is also the author of "Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine."

This power duo are both icons in their own rights. Let us celebrate both of them and the incredible work that each of them does to move us towards a more equitable future!

On February 16, 1990, artist and activist Keith Haring passed away from AIDS-related complications. Today, we celebrate his life, work and legacy.

Born in Pennsylvania in 1958, Keith was interested in art from a young age and influenced by the art and animation around him. In 1978, he moved to the Lower East Side to study at the School of Visual Arts. Soon after, he started receiving public attention with his graffiti art in subways, where he utilized unused advertisement boards as his canvas. From there, his profile only continued to rise as he participated in larger projects and painted the iconic murals that can still be seen today throughout the city.

Keith's pop art style is still instantly recognizable today with his bold lines, bright colors and playful imagery. But also central to his work was his advocacy for anti-apartheid, nuclear disarmament, safe s*x, HIV and AIDS awareness and LGBTQ+ causes. These themes can be seen in his most famous pieces and continue to be part of his legacy through the Keith Haring Foundation. The foundation continues to provide funding to organizations that serve HIV-impacted communities, including Callen-Lorde.

The Keith Haring Nurse Practitioner Postgraduate Fellowship in LGBTQ+ Health at Callen-Lorde is the premier LGBTQ+ healthcare training program that enhances knowledge, increases compassion and brings awareness to the healthcare barriers that LGBTQ+ communities face. Every year, we welcome a new cohort of future healthcare leaders who see patients in our community and bring their expertise to all parts of the country after the program.

Despite his untimely death at only 31, Haring’s impact on the art world and popular culture can be felt to this day.
