"a bold political demonstration of the value of the sexuality of queer people living with HIV and the fundamental human rights of queer migrants."
"As of [SIC] one of the only openly HIV-positive Executive Directors of a global organization, I am inspired and heartened by this highly visible action for the rights of all people living with HIV, especially queer migrants, when there's so much fear and disinformation out there,"
HIV-positive men gathered at the U.S.–Mexico border in Tijuana on World AIDS Day for MPact Global's third annual Besoton Sidoso Internacional/International HIV Kiss-In, publicly demonstrating queer affection and solidarity. The action asserted the sexual dignity and fundamental human rights of queer migrants and people living with HIV amid restrictive immigration policies and diminished U.S. global HIV leadership. Research indicates migrants in high-income countries face disproportionate HIV burdens and barriers to care, and a significant number of undocumented U.S. residents identify as LGBTQ+. The event aimed to counter fear, disinformation, and policy barriers limiting access to prevention and treatment.
