In March, from 25 to 28, 2026, long-term and lifetime survivors of HIV from Europe, the United States, and Canada came together for the HIV Long-Term Survivors of HIV Summit in Sitges, near Barcelona. The gathering created space for survivors across generations and communities to connect, reflect, and share their experiences of ageing with HIV.
More than a conference, the Summit was an opportunity for people who have lived through decades of the epidemic to learn from one another, discuss ongoing challenges, and help build a shared “Legacy Chest”, a digital audiovisual collection of survivor stories intended to educate, inspire, and support advocacy for years to come.
