We are excited to share that the Mother, Child, and Adolescent HIV Program (MCAP) at UC San Diego will be hosting a Drag Brunch Fundraiser on Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This lively and inclusive event will feature incredible queens from across San Diego, great food, and on-site testing — all in support of women, children, and youth living with HIV. Join us in celebrating community and raising critical funds! MCAP is dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care for women, children, and adolescents affected by HIV. According to the CDC, nearly 19% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. are among women, and youth ages 13–24 account for 20% of all new HIV diagnoses. Many of these individuals face unique challenges, including stigma, unstable housing, food insecurity, and limited access to mental health services — all of which can affect their ability to remain in care and achieve viral suppression. Additionally, this year the U.S. has cut more than $450 million from HIV research and proposed eliminating over $1.5 billion in prevention funding—jeopardizing decades of progress and putting thousands at risk of new infections. And this is just the beginning. Your support ensures that women, children, and youth living with HIV are not left behind, providing the life-saving care and support they need to thrive.
