The first 'Posithiva March' will tour Pepe Espaliú's Madrid against "the stigma of HIV and AIDS" The first 'Posithiva March' toured the streets of Madrid this Saturday to fight against "the stigma of HIV and AIDS, standing up for the more than 150,000 people with HIV in Spain who do not dare to reveal their serological status due to the consequences". It began at 12:30 from the Ministry of Health until it reached the Reina Sofía Museum, where a manifesto will be read. The march has followed the iconic itinerary of the performative action in Madrid in the 90s of 'Carrying', by the artist Pepe Espaliú. POSITIVE PRIDE proposes the deployment of a series of public actions to call attention to the persistence of stigma and discrimination associated with HIV after more than four decades of pandemic and to value 40 years of activism and resilience. PRIDE+ was born from and for people living with HIV and who have participated in all the actions and activities of the project, from its design to its materialization. PRIDE+ is articulated around 4 axes of action: Cultural, sports, educational and protest, the latter being the transversal axis that supports it and gives it meaning. All the activities will take place during the autumn of 2022 in Madrid, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the State Coordinator for HIV and AIDS (Cesida), the entity promoting the project.
