Positiiviset has celebrated Toivo Day since 2004 on 4 June, Toivo’s name day. On this day, we aim to raise awareness about HIV and living with HIV, as well as highlight the positive advances that have been made in HIV treatment. This year, our theme focuses on the stories of people living with HIV and how HIV has impacted their lives. “Olipa kerran hiv” also reminds us that when treated, HIV is not transmissible U=U.
Join us at Karhupuisto and the Kallio Summer Street event stage in Helsinki on 4 June from 16:00 to 20:00 to hear people’s stories and enjoy a lovely summer day. In addition to the programme on the stage, part of the park will be used for side activities for visitors. Toivo Day is a free, family-friendly event. Weather permitting.
