The Health Fair is a product "of the dire need for community health during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic."
"Healthcare and Pride is one area where it is important for all individuals to not only know their [HIV] status, but also maintain a healthy community," Martinez-Wright told LGBTQ Nation.
"Whether it's COVID-19, HIV, tuberculosis," said Martinez-Wright. "With Pride, we have to make sure that we let people know, [and] to make sure your health is a top priority."
TAG grew out of the AIDS crisis, originally starting out as a working group in ACT UP NY. For three years, ACT UP NY and TAG have convened health organizations like Callen-Lorde, Physicians for a National Health Program New York, NYU Langone Health, and others to share community resources.
