The goal is to get everyone to take their picture all on the same day and share their story. A Day with HIV brings people together to showing that people living with HIV are like everyone else.
No. This campaign is for everyone, because we’re all affected by HIV.
Everywhere—wherever you are. Thanks to social media, A Day with HIV happens all over the world.
Take your picture on Tuesday, September 22 anytime between midnight and 11:59 p.m.—you have 24 hours to take your picture!
Many people take selfies, but the power of pictures is that they have a story to tell. What’s going on in your photo? What does this image make you feel? It can be a simple snapshot or an artful image. Another way to think of it is, What moment of my day do I want to share?
