⁣GMHC enthusiastically congratulates our friend

⁣GMHC enthusiastically congratulates our friend Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who will soon start as the @cdcgov new Director of the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. He brings a vast amount of experience in prevention and treatment specifically of HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and vaccine-preventable diseases.⠀
⠀
Dr. Daskalakis is previously a member of GMHC’s Board of Directors. While serving in this role, he helped coordinate GMHC’s response to a 2012 meningitis outbreak among gay men with New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The effort included vaccinating gay men at GMHC’s Testing Center, after-hour sex clubs, Fire Island, and other venues. His efforts were considered one of the successes in eliminating the outbreak.⠀
⠀
A few years later when he joined the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, he led a team in creating bold and innovative programming and public service campaigns targeting populations at higher risk of HIV, including Black and Latinx gay and bisexual men, and Black and Latinx transgender women. He was even part of a daring public education campaign titled “Bare it All” that linked LGBTQ+ people to judgment-free, comprehensive health care.⠀
⠀
Dr. Daskalakis has been integral to NYC’s Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic programs and was part of Governor Cuomo’s Ending the Epidemic Task Force that also included GMHC CEO Kelsey Louie. “We have worked with Dr. Daskalakis and his staff for many years and have valued his exemplary leadership and expertise,” said Louie. “While we will greatly miss him at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, we look forward to continuing our work with him at the CDC. As we close out this unprecedented and challenging year, we express our thanks for all that Dr. Daskalakis has contributed and will further contribute to the health and wellbeing of millions of people. Under the upcoming Biden administration, Dr. Daskalakis will provide new leadership that is needed to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.”⠀

⁣#TBT Larry Kramer’s Living Room.⠀
⠀
These days it seems the term, “living room,” has taken on a different context. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is a place of work, rest, and (virtual) gatherings. It is a room that elicits feelings of relaxation, joy, amusement, as well as anxiety, fear and stress.⠀
⠀
One word the photo above gives us is, “hope.” Larry Kramer’s historic living room which, provided the groundwork for GMHC reminds us that in the darkest times we must hold on to hope. The hope a future equal and just for all is not only attainable but, rightfully DESERVED.⠀

Why? Because COVID and election-induced anxiety won’t stop us from providing our clients access to a healthy diet! 🍎🥬🥕⠀
⠀
Simply put, we know HIV weakens your immune system. Because your body uses nutrients to keep up its defenses against germs, eating well can help you fight off infections. It can also boost your energy, keep you strong, help you avoid health complications, and ease issues brought on by HIV and its treatments.⠀

Notably, he collaborated with activists to change the ways in which the government conducted drug trials and increasing access to experimental HIV treatments. As NIAID director, Fauci has also been on the frontlines of the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

⁣Join GMHC on Wednesday Oct. 21 for our virtual gala as we honor Tony, Emmy, and Grammy-award winning actor and performing artist, Billy Porter (@theebillyporter) for his staunch LGBTQ rights advocacy and powerful voice in the fight to end AIDS. Porter is the first openly gay Black man to be nominated and win in any lead acting category at the Primetime Emmy Awards. Porter won his first Emmy for his role in the acclaimed FX show Pose (@poseonfx), which delves into New York's underground house-ballroom culture of the 1980s and ‘90s, during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Throughout his career on stage, screen, and behind a microphone, Billy Porter has championed the civil and human rights of marginalized communities.⠀

⁣Join GMHC on Wednesday Oct. 21 for our virtual gala as we honor Speaker Nancy Pelosi (@speakerpelosi), a tireless advocate for people living with HIV/AIDS since she was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1987. Throughout her tenure, she has advocated for community-based HIV/AIDS care and accelerated development of an HIV vaccine. She also has helped to expand access to Medicaid for people living with HIV and to increase funding for the Ryan White CARE Act, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, the Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative and other federal initiatives vital to people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS. We are humbled to honor Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her tireless work expanding protections and resources for people living with HIV/AIDS.⠀
