HOPE DC is here to assist the social and informational needs of HIV+ gay men and others in the Washington DC area.
|
In 1988, during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic, about a dozen HIV+ gay men from Washington, DC met during a clinical trial. They decided they needed a break from the lab coats and statistics, so they threw a party. Naturally, they all invited "a few close friends". Word spread, and in the end, several times as many people as they were expecting showed up! Everyone just wanted to have some fun. The drug they were getting in the trial is long since history, but the parties (now called "Socials") that they started are still going strong!
