Celebrate Life. Honor Resilience. Raise Awareness.

For more than four decades, HIV long-term survivors have demonstrated extraordinary resilience, courage and strength in the face of challenges many could never imagine. Their stories remind us how far we have come in the fight against HIV, while also highlighting the work that remains to eliminate stigma, expand access to care and support those impacted by HIV in our communities.

That is why HIV Elimination Services (HIVES) is proud to join Florida Department of Health (DOH), Triple H Ministries Heart Health Healing Ministries and community partners this Friday, June 5, for HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day ... a special community event dedicated to honoring survivors, raising awareness, sharing education and celebrating life. Our very own Council Members Dr Rosie Hayes and Dr Sandra Anderson will be a part of the amazing celebration - we're excited to support everyone there!

As part of our CTRL-HALT-DEL initiative, we believe that every conversation, every connection and every act of compassion helps move our community closer to a future where everyone has access to the support, care and understanding they deserve.

CTRL: Control Risks - Empowering individuals to take charge of their health by reducing risks of HIV.

HALT: Halt the Spread - Stopping the spread of HIV through care and treatment for persons with HIV.

Today, May 18th, is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day … get ready! get involved! get tested! get vaxx'd!

We recognize and thank the scientists, health professionals, volunteers and community members working toward one goal: a safe and effective HIV vaccine.

We’ve made meaningful progress in HIV prevention, with tools that help reduce transmission and support healthier lives. But the work is not done.

Nearly 38,000 new HIV infections still occur each year in the United States.

READ THAT AGAIN.

In Palm Beach County, HIV continues to impact our community in very real ways. The majority of people living with HIV are over the age of 50, and disparities persist across race, ethnicity, and geography, particularly within Black and Haitian communities and among men who have s*x with men. New diagnoses and gaps in care remain a concern, reinforcing the need for continued prevention, testing and engagement efforts. While the scientists work toward long-term solutions like a vaccine, our focus locally remains clear: reaching the communities most impacted and ensuring access to the care and support needed to live healthy lives.

Millions of people worldwide are living with HIV
A vaccine remains one of the most critical tools needed to end the HIV epidemic
Research continues, and every study, every trial, and every participant brings us closer.

While we work toward that future, we also continue to focus on what we can do right now:
CTRL :: Control Risks
HALT :: Halt the Spread
DEL :: Delete Stigma

Prevention works. Testing matters. Treatment saves lives.

Want to take control of your health?
Call or text 1-833-PBC-HIV1 (1-833-722-4481) to get connected to free HIV testing, prevention services and care right here in Palm Beach County. You can also request a FREE in-home HIV test kit

🎵 Let’s talk about s*x, baby. 🎵

Not the filtered version. Not the whispered version. The real one.

Why? Because s*x without conversation can come with consequences!

Do you know your status?

Silence is where risk lives. Conversation is where control begins.
Prevention is readily available and so many options …

Change the way your protect yourself along with us!
Take CTRL and HALT the spread by DEL the stigma and ensure YOU are safe!
