Pride-In-A-Box: Overview

A Let’s Stop HIV Together Guide for Pride

Starting to plan for Pride season?

Pride events are full of opportunities to engage with the LGBTQ community and share important messages to reduce HIV stigma and address testing, prevention, and treatment. This toolkit contains information and resources developed by CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together (Together) campaign that can support your organization’s activities during Pride season. The Together campaign has developed Pride-perfect materials to help you meet your audiences where they are. We have posters, palm cards, brochures, and more to use on-site, as well as web banner ads and social media assets that you can use to “wrap around” your Together Pride events. We encourage you to use our social media assets throughout Pride season for promotion and engagement. The materials address the full array of key HIV topics including HIV testing, condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV treatment, being undetectable, and reducing HIV stigma. We also have resources and tips to help you evaluate the success of your efforts.

To help you plan your activities, this guide is divided into sections with specific strategies for implementing the Together campaign for Pride season, gaining visibility at your local Pride festival, and conducting post-Pride activities. It also includes ideas to help you host a virtual Together online Pride event when you can’t attend a festival or when circumstances don’t allow for in-person events.

From all of us at the Together campaign, thank you for everything you do to raise awareness about HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and stigma. We hope that you find our materials, resources, and tips helpful. Have a wonderful Pride season!
