Award-Winning Magazine Honors Long-Term Survivors Of HIV

POZ magazine recently published it’s annual POZ 100 list, which highlights and supports the work of HIV/AIDS advocates.

For the 2015 POZ 100, the publication asked organizations and people across America to nominate HIV-positive people who have been living with the virus prior “since 1995 or earlier who remain active in the fight to end the epidemic,” notes a press release sent to The Huffington Post. “All of this year’s honorees have been living with the virus since before effective treatment was available, and many got HIV before 1985, when the first HIV test became accessible.”

The Huffington Post chatted with Editor-in-Chief of POZ magazine Oriol Gutierrez this week about this year’s POZ 100.
