Gilead names community champs

Five Australians have been named 2025 HIV Community Champions.

The four peer workers and one GP received their awards from the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA) and Gilead Sciences Australia for their leadership, support and advocacy for people living with HIV.

The program, in its fifth year, received a record 56 nominations for awards, which illustrated the enormous respect communities have for their peers, advocates and allies, said Gilead Sciences ANZ Director Public Affairs Lisa Maguire.
