On Saturday, September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week, the world witnessed a groundbreaking fusion of fashion and science at HIV Unwrapped, an unprecedented collaboration hosted by +Life, in partnership with GLAAD, EqualPride, and Gilead. The event, which will be filmed for a broadcast special on Hulu this November 30 in observance of World AIDS Day 2025, aimed to challenge HIV stigma, celebrate resilience, and bridge generational divides in the fight against HIV.
A Celebration of Science, Storytelling, and Fashion
HIV Unwrapped is a first-of-its-kind event pairing HIV scientists with emerging designers from Parsons School of Design to create custom looks inspired by HIV research and personal stories of those impacted by the virus. The resulting collection was visually stunning and deeply meaningful, leveraging the global platform of NYFW to ignite conversation and awareness about HIV, particularly in communities still affected by stigma.
