A Little Of Our Story
Positively You
Positively You! is an educational media initiative from the Maricopa County Ryan White Program designed to inform and empower young adults living with HIV aged 18 to 34 to proactively link to HIV treatment, maintain viral suppression as a high-impact method of HIV prevention, and become aware of Ryan White HIV services and other young adult-specific community-based organizations. The Positively You! campaign addresses HIV-related stigma head on. Propelled by a series of interchangeable, affirmative statements and a vibrant color palette, the campaign features actual Maricopa County residents who volunteered to tell their inspiring stories across multiple media, including video vignettes, web, social media, and print materials.

Phoenix Fast-Track Cities
The Fast-Track Cities initiative was launched on World AIDS Day 2014 in Paris. More than 70 high HIV burden cities around the world have since signed the Paris Declaration on Fast-Track Cities Ending AIDS and engaged Mayors and other political leaders, affected communities, civil society, city health officials, clinical and service providers, and other stakeholders to accelerate their local AIDS responses. The City of Phoenix chapter is lead by Councilwoman Laura Pastor and Debra Stark. They have been instrumental in advocating for City funding to assist local community organizations to work to achieve the following targets:
- Zero stigma and discrimination
- 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) knowing their HIV status
- 95% of PLHIV who know their HIV-positive status on antiretroviral therapy (ART)
- 95% of PLHIV on ART achieving viral suppression
Fast-Track Cites work towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 by building upon, strengthening, and leveraging existing HIV-related programs and resources.
