Let’s expand a platform for communities to engage in acts of love and caring for women living with HIV.

LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an international series of grassroots events that uses Valentine’s Day as a backdrop, creating a platform for individuals and communities to engage in public and private acts of love and caring for self-identifying women living with HIV. Working from a place of strength, LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN focuses on the idea of interconnectedness, relationship building, loving oneself and loving ones community.

Since 1988, Visual AIDS has utilized art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an ongoing project originally established by Visual AIDS Artist+ Member Jessica Whitbread in 2013.  LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN valentine making workshops became an annual Visual AIDS project in 2014.

“Why not do something nice for the women most forgotten about?” asks Whitbread. “Taking the time to do something for someone else is really beneficial to society as a whole. Don’t underestimate the value in something as simple as sending a valentine.”

In our first year, we made and mailed approximately 100 valentines. Since then, demand for the program has increased enthusiastically. This year, 60 participants created 550 handmade valentines for HIV+ women around the world!

LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is rapidly growing and we need your support to keep our valentine workshops thriving. Help us to grow our LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN workshops, expanding our reach to HIV+ women.
