About this Event
GCN & Poz Vibe are proud to present Poz World Panel: A World AIDS Day live podcast. The very special fundraising event will be hosted at Trinity College Dublin on December 1 in partnership with Trinity’s LGBT+ Staff Network.
To mark the occasion, Trinity College will also light the front of its historic buildings red in a powerful display of solidarity and support.
The 2024 World AIDS Day theme is 'Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress', and to mark the occasion, we are highlighting how hearing the voices of some of the most marginalised members of our community is vital to fighting stigma and achieving progress.
Poz Vibe is a podcast for people living with HIV and their friends and families. Its mission is to “create change and spread those positive vibrations throughout Ireland”.
In this live episode, Poz Vibe hosts and HIV activists Robbie Lawlor and Veda will lead a conversation with activists Prateek Bhardwaj, Christopher Freibott, Luis Noguera Benitez and Luis Phellipe Lutterbeck about how discourses on immigration and HIV are conducted and how people’s HIV status is often weaponised in racist rhetoric.
Prateek Bhardwaj moved to Ireland in 2021 from a small town called Baijnath in India. Since he found out he was HIV positive in 2016, he has been advocating for people with HIV and has been an integral part of the Poz Vibe family for the past two years.
Christopher Freibott has been living in Ireland since 2014, having moved here from a small town in Bavaria, Germany. After marching at Pride alongside the Poz Vibe Tribe for the past two years, he has started to be more open about his HIV status, working to educate people and create awareness on the topic.
Luis Noguera Benitez is an Irish Venezuelan actor and activist who combines different techniques to create campaigns to battle HIV Stigma. The mixed media videos narrate his story from many perspectives using the oniric and poetry to spread the message.
Luis Phellipe Lutterbeck is a Brazilian activist who has been living in Dublin for nearly eight years. Since 2021, Phellipe has been raising awareness about living with HIV through his work as a hairstylist, by having meaningful conversations with his customers, and on social media.
This event is a fundraiser for GCN and Poz Vibe, and is proudly supported by Trinity LGBTQ+ Staff Network.
