The North Carolina AIDS Action Network is excited to announce HIV Speaks on Jones Street on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025 in Raleigh, NC AND—for the first time—HIV Speaks on Gervais Street on Tuesday May 6th, 2025 in Columbia, SC!
HIV Speaks is an advocacy (not lobbying) day! Your church can come, your business can come, your 501c3 can come to speak out about the importance of meeting the needs of those living with HIV and ensuring prevention is supported for all people.
A Time to Speak Up!
HIV Speaks serves as a chance for our community of HIV, harm reduction, and viral hepatitis advocates from across the state to come together and meet with state policymakers to speak on issues impacting their communities. We are excited and We are hopeful that through this event we will be able to engage folks from across the CAROLINA’s where they will be able to meet with the policy makers who represent their communities.
An Time to Learn and Connect
The agenda of each HIV Speaks will kick off with a morning program at 9:00 AM that will include welcoming remarks and a briefing on relevant public policy issues related to HIV, Harm Reduction, and Viral Hepatitis in North Carolina this year. Group meetings will be scheduled with elected officials throughout the day directly following the opening program and will likely go until around 3PM.
