Thank you, MAC, for your amazing support for HIV rights.

The pics are in! We’re still grinning from ear to ear after last Thursday’s inaugural #DragRaise event in Central London. Doesn’t everyone look amazing - our host Cheddar Gorgeous, and the stellar performers Daisy Puller, Ella Vaday, Vanity Milan, Häns Off, DJ Mynxie and very special guest Charity Kase. Big thanks to all of you who came, partied and so generously supported us. National AIDS Trust’s Director of Fundraising, Hannah Daws, said: “We were thrilled by the success of our first Drag Raise event. Everyone that came along has told us what an amazing time they had – the beautiful Queens (and King) gave show-stopping performances, the cocktails and canapes were delicious and the vibes were immaculate! With the generous support from Diageo and M.A.C. Cosmetics we have made nearly £18,000 from the night. This will allow us to continue to fight for HIV rights and campaign for an end to new transmissions by 2030. It has made a real and important difference. If you couldn’t make it on the night, then why not take our lead and throw your own Drag-themed event? Order a pack from and spread a little glamour while you fundraise for our vital cause!”

It's everyone's responsibility to end HIV #stigma. This #ZeroHIVStigmaDay, Daron Oram explains what is #HIVConfident, the charter mark to reduce HIV stigma in member organisations. "When an organisation signs up to HIV Confident, they make a commitment to ensure that people living with HIV can work for them or access their services without fear of discrimination and with confidence."
