HIV STOPS WITH ME is a multifaceted, national social-marketing campaign aimed at preventing the spread of HIV and reducing stigma associated with the disease. The campaign features real HIV positive people talking about real issues.
The campaign focuses on the personal strengths of people living with HIV and affirms their ability to display these qualities in their everyday lives to tear down the stigma associated with HIV. Each spokesmodel is committed to stopping the spread of HIV while also promoting the values of self-care and healthy living. As active members of their communities, the spokesmodels share their stories, engage in online dialogue about issues related to HIV, and make public appearances.

One of the spokesmodels for the program, Marcus May, also serves as Peer Housing Advocate here at the Albany Damien Center as the Peer Housing Advocate. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the people we serve at the Albany Damien Center. We are very proud of his work for us and within the community. You may see him on posters around New York State; we spied him at the corner store just down the street from us!
