Introduction

For the sixth year at Onassis Stegi, people living with and without HIV talk about their lives in an open discussion about inclusion, visibility, and acceptance, against stigma and prejudice. A meeting chaired by the Greek Association of People Living with HIV — Positive Voice.

This year, I’m Positive returns to Stegi’s Main Stage with an anniversary evening encapsulating human stories heard loud, personal narratives that inspire and become examples against stigma and prejudice. Because positive voices sound louder.

40 years after the first victim of HIV in Greece, we gather again to unite our voices for what must not be forgotten in order not to be repeated, for what unites people, for what makes us feel and be safe, for all those things that allow us to experience love, but also for what makes us accept ourselves first, and then empower us to claim visibility and inclusion for all.

In collaboration with the Greek Association of People Living with HIV — Positive Voice, on Wednesday, November 29, we open a platform to people and stories that need to be heard, so that no one suffers from taboos, ignorance, and inequalities. Science has moved on. Let society follow.

Together, on the Main Stage of Onassis Stegi, counting more than 30 real-life stories of people who have shared moments of their lives, we meet again as a family that grows every year, with one promise: to keep talking openly again and again, until the obvious becomes a reality for everyone. The conversation is moderated by Lydia Papaioannou and Katherine Reilly.

Give your children the chance to trust you and confide in you.
