About: LHiV 2 Zero, presented by the San Francisco LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, will be staged over two inspiring evenings on July 18th and 19th in honor of National Zero HIV Stigma Day.
Originally created by Timothy Hampton (now Director of Cultural Programs at the SF LGBT Center) for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day in 2017 at Tennessee State University, LHiV 2 Zero has captivated audiences across the country—touring from 2017 to 2019, and most recently revived at Paramount Studios in 2023.
Now, this landmark production arrives in San Francisco, featuring local Bay Area community members and spotlighting the lived experiences of those most impacted by HIV stigma. Through powerful storytelling, song, dance, visual art, and advocacy monologues, LHiV 2 Zero will celebrate perseverance and amplify voices within LGBTQIA+ BIPOC communities, especially those of transgender and non-binary folks, older adults, and people engaged in harm reduction efforts.
Featuring voices from:
- Dr. Tyler TerMeer – The State of Address
- Ebony Gordon – “OG” Voice of Support
- Dr. Demisha Burns – Mother Earth
- Derrick Mapp – Voice of Support
- Jahnell Butler – PREP STAR
- Dr. Patricia Defechereux – Cure to ZERO
- Avery Hines – Prevention Pusher
- Vincent Crisostomo – Advocate, Long-Term Survivor

This event is more than a performance—it’s a movement toward zero stigma, and we would love for you to be a part of it.
