I was honored to receive a Congressional Champion Award by AIDSWatch, at the largest annual constituent-based HIV/AIDS advocacy event in the nation.
Met with AIDS United and San Francisco advocates this week to discuss the needs of those living with HIV/AIDS.
It was an honor to accept their AIDSWatch Lifetime Achievement Award and reaffirm our commitment to continue the fight until we confine AIDS to the dustbin of history.

As the administration continues to threaten HIV prevention programs, limit access to care, and decimate the progress we’ve made to eliminate the epidemic worldwide, we will continue to fight back.
