‘HIV BLIND DATE‘ is a theatre dating- show for people living and loving with HIV / HEP to share the realities of life, love and struggle. It’s 30 years of ‘World AIDS Day’ and we want to celebrate how far we have come and build power for how far we need to go to end the HIV epidemic. So in typical AIDS COALITION TO UNLEASH POWER (ACT UP) style, full of cabaret, mischief, romance and flair – HIV BLIND DATE celebrates our HIV+ community and everyone committed to LOVE AND UNITY FOR THE HIV+ COMMUNITY – www.actuplondon.wordpress.com

This ‘World AIDS Day’ Special is in tribute the one and only phenomenal HIV+ artist and activist Jacob Alexander, to remember his great legacy and to launch the charity ‘The Alexandr Army’. Rest In Power (RIP) Jacob.

WHY ITS HAPPENING: Together we will vejazzle stigma, expose pharmaceutical greed and and revels in the anger, sweatiness and fabulous fierceness of the global HIV+ community.
