Seven HIV/AIDS Activists have come together to assemble a team of faces and voices who will encourage the global community to Tweet heavily during this week using the hash tags, #HIV and #AIDS during the International AIDS Conference (IAC). We also want you to tweet heavily during the March on Washington Events that are occurring July 20th – 22nd; more info can be found here

Together, through this campaign, we [the global community] can, we must, make #HIV and #AIDS a trend. This is a HUGE opportunity to bring much needed awareness to the HIV/AIDS, global epidemic. To achieve success we must all make a conscious effort to Tweet our little fingers off!
