"For the first time in 12 years, a person living with HIV addressed a major political party at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Daniel Driffin, a 30 year old native of Atlanta, Georgia, took center stage yesterday, speaking about HIV & AIDS advocacy.
Driffin, a Black, gay man, wears many hats in Georgia. He is Co-Chair of the Task Force on AIDS and HIV in Fulton County, a Youth HIV Policy Advisor for Georgia Equality, and the co-founder of three, HIV-related projects: The Young Black Gay Men’s Leadership Initiative, Thrive SS, Inc., and Undetectables Atlanta, an online support group for more than 400 gay and bisexual men living with HIV. Driffin also recently appeared in a PBS segment detailing the impact of the HIV epidemic in Atlanta."
