Real-life exchanges from mobile dating app Grindr are at the center of a powerful new awareness campaign spotlighting HIV stigma and its effects on the LGBTI+ community.
An initiative of the HIV Foundation Queensland (HIVFQ) in partnership with Queensland Positive People (QPP), the Real Conversations of Grindr campaign started as a filmed social experiment at Queensland’s annual queer arts and culture festival at Brisbane Powerhouse in February, shedding light on the online phenomenon of online dating apps.
The Real Conversations of Grindr campaign is part of HIV Foundation Queensland’s overarching efforts to address HIV stigma.
“For people living with HIV, the stigma can often be more damaging than the virus,” the organization’s website notes.” Yet so much of it comes from a lack of understanding and knowledge. This is why we all have a role to play in educating ourselves and others about the facts.”
