In 2019 we held a dating- show for people living and loving with HIV / HEP to share the realities of life, love and struggle for ‘World AIDS Day’ to celebrate how far we have come and build power for how far we need to go to end the HIV epidemic.
Thank you Joseph Wilson for the video

To combat stigma
To celebrate ourselves
To have a laugh
To Cultivate Love
We got changed backstage
Celebrated our previous contestants
Treasured self-love
Built a global movement
Welcomed our Cilla to the stage
And our fabulous contestants
Asked our questions
Had a Lorra Lorra Laffs
Rode our fabulous gimp
Had a baby naming raffle
to celebrate HIV+ people having babies
under the watchful eye of our glamorous assistants and our Graham
Discussed the hostile environments impact on people with HIV+
Decided it had to go
And smashed it
Defended our communities
Had so much fun
Held HIV+ speed dating
Created Love in Community
Had a special set from DJ Mica Coca
And had more fun
Had a special performance from Jordan Charles
Thanks from our glamorous assistants

Put our props away until 2020
And vowed to protect the NHS
Where we will be back!
ACT UP! FIGHT BACK! UNTIL THERE IS HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!
