The AIDS crisis is not over.

Each year on December 1st, our community gathers to remember those lost to HIV/AIDS, educate younger generations about the leadership and activism associated with this disease, and rally to eliminate the health, racial, and social inequities plaguing the ongoing epidemic.

As our country’s only federally designated memorial for lives touched by AIDS, the National AIDS Memorial Grove hosts a pivotal observance each year to recognize this internationally dedicated day. Join us in the Grove on Sunday, December 1st, as we gather to heal, hope, remember, and recommit.

By sparking powerful conversations, the National AIDS Memorial will highlight the pressing issues impacting HIV/AIDS today. By sharing the story of the struggle against HIV/AIDS, we fight against stigma, discrimination, denial, and hate, for a just future. RSVPs are not required, but recommended to stay up to date on the event!

History in the Making: ZSFG and the Ongoing Fight Against HIV

Please join us for a special World AIDS Day 2025 event highlighting and celebrating the scientific advances led by UCSF researchers in partnership with our city. Our research has and continues to transform care for HIV for over 40 years, both locally and globally. The event will feature a keynote talk from Dr. Diane Havlir (Director, ARI and Professor of Medicine, UCSF–ZSFG) on the pioneering history of HIV research at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and the ongoing pursuit of scientific innovation and progress toward ending AIDS worldwide. 

We will also hear from several city officials, a long-term survivor with HIV, and Dr. Paul Volberding will moderate a panel with Drs. Steven Deeks, Monica Gandhi, Peter Hunt, and Annie Luetkemeyer on upcoming breakthroughs. The event will be followed by a networking reception. 

Frameline is hosting a special community screening at Grand Lake Theater.

Made possible by Gilead Sciences, the Presenting Sponsor, the event offers attendees the chance to see Marlon Riggs’ Affirmations and the 4K restoration of Stephen Winter’s Chocolate Babies, followed by a post-film conversation.
