HIV Long-Term Survivor Awareness Day is annually on an important anniversary. On June 5, 1981, the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published a brief account of five young gay men diagnosed with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), indicating signs of severely compromised immune systems. It was the beginning of AIDS awareness before it was known as HIV/AIDS. Let’s Kick ASS — AIDS Survivor Syndrome (LKA) is the lead sponsor and organizer the annual AIDS observance day. LKA is a national grassroots movement of long-term survivors honoring the unique and profound experience of living through the AIDS epidemic. It is the largest and most dynamic organization of its kind engaging stakeholders to understand better the challenges and the solutions while encouraging them to take action to optimize survivors’ lives. We encourage groups everywhere to begin planning events in your cities and towns now. Make them your own but honor long-term survivors. They deserve it. Then send us the what, when, where, why, and who the event is for, and if it is free or low-cost. We’ll add you to the official calendar. Send your listing or questions to Action@LetsKickASS.org

Not Our First Pandemic

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day (HLTSAD) is 5 June 2020. Not our first pandemic is a call to action for us to share our wisdom of surviving AIDS while the world is in the middle of COVID-10.

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day (HLTSAD) is June 5. Let’s Kick ASS created the awareness day in 2014 to recognize and honor those living longest with HIV. Let’s Kick ASS is the originator and managing sponsor of HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day (HLTSAD) which celebrates and honors people living longest with HIV/AIDS. It is an awareness day to inspire change. The selection of the June 5 date for this annual observance coincides with the anniversary of the first official reporting in 1981 of what became known as the AIDS epidemic. It is an Official AIDS Awareness Day celebrated nationally and internationally.
