These posts were generated during the 2019 & 2020 Love Positive Women annual holidays, Feb 1st – Feb 14th. Love Positive Women was started by Jessica Whitbread, and is a call to action. It requires participants to reflect on how they as either a woman living with HIV or an ally will commit to loving women living with HIV and then do it.
Luv ’til it Hurts likes to meet people and share what we’re up to. Sometimes we help make events and exhibitions, and we also ’luv’ informal conversations that become ’letters’ on the site. See Luv Letters and our other Features. Whether online or in person, we’d LUV to share our game with you. Please use it to make your own encounters if it works; otherwise, let us know how we can participate in what you’re doing. Download the LUV game from site (LuvHurts.co) starting on World AIDS Day, Dec 1 2019.

As a campaign LUV will raise awareness and generate resources. They will be used to maintain the container and will be shared strategically.
