HIV Advocacy Day on the Hill 2024
By Leah Freeman
HIV Day on the Hill was organized by the Tennessee AIDS Advocacy Network. Its a state-wide association of people living with HIV. This year was my first time attending it was a wonderful turn out. It was a two day conference. On the 2nd day we went on legislative visit. We split up in groups to speak to our state legislators. I was in the group that met with Representative John Clemmons. He was very receptive and openminded. Overall, my first time experience with HIV Day on the Hill was very insightful.
