NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS: The fight to end New York’s HIV epidemic continues on World AIDS Day 2022

Written By Dave Harper

New Yorkers recognized World AIDS Day 2022 last Thursday, Dec. 1. For four straight hours, names of those who died from the epidemic were read in Greenwich Village for the first in-person observation at the NYC AIDS Memorial since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beyond a day of remembrance, Thursday was also a day of action. Activists and elected officials called for decriminalizing sexual activity and providing statewide permanent housing for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS, along with more overdose prevention centers.
