WASHINGTON, D.C. — The ADAP Advocacy Association today aired its Public Service Announcement designed to raise awareness about long-term survivors living with HIV being vaccinated against Covid-19. The PSA features Tez Anderson from San Francisco, California.

Tez Anderson is the founder of the nonprofit organization, Let’s Kick ASS — AIDS Survivor Syndrome. Tez has been living with HIV since 1983, and he shares why he decided to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

“In urban cities with large LGBTQ communities, HIV and Covid-19 has presented dual challenges for older residents,” said Brandon M. Macsata, CEO of the ADAP Advocacy. “And according to the World Health Organization, HIV increases the risk for severe Covid-19 by 6% and the risk of dying of Covid-19 in the hospital by 30%. Tez’s message aims to help convince long-term survivors to get vaccinated and further protect themselves.”
