PEP: within 72 hours after a possible HIV exposure. Sooner is better.

If PEP may be relevant tonight, do not wait for a social-media reply. CDC says to contact a health care provider, urgent care or an emergency room right away.

The dream is ready.

Dreamscape: The 40th Anniversary Spectacle unfolds in five chapters - radiance, reflection, hope, imagination, and celebration. On November 14, each chapter comes to life through music, atmosphere, movement, and unexpected moments of beauty as we honor 40 years of Nashville CARES and the community that has sustained this work.

Vidalia Anne Gentry (VAG for short) and her cast bring glamour, humor, edge, and theatrical joy to the Dreamscape stage with thematic drag performances. Their presence elevates the evening into a celebration worthy of the milestone.

The dream is getting brighter - and bolder. Step into it with us. Visit the Dreamscape website at dreamscapegala.org to learn more and purchase your tickets, or click the link in the bio.

The Country Music CARES benefit in 1993 was not a one-night gesture. It returned to the Grand Ole Opry House in 1994 and 1995, with K.T. Oslin hosting for three consecutive years. The first event raised about $100,000, the second raised more than $100,000 and the third raised approximately $90,000 for Nashville CARES.

Different lineups. The same purpose: supporting local HIV/AIDS services, education and prevention.

Showing up once makes a statement. Coming back builds a legacy.

PEP is emergency medicine that can prevent HIV after a possible exposure.

CDC says it must be started within 72 hours. The sooner it starts, the better. Every hour counts.

Call/Seek care now.

UPDATE: He has a microwave. 💛

A little over an hour after we asked, someone in our community stepped up and bought one for him. One post, one neighbor, and tonight he gets a hot meal! This community is AMAZING!

This is what it looks like when people come together. Thank you to everyone who shared, offered and showed up. You made that happen!

Small fix. Hot meal. Big heart. Thank you, Nashville!🙏

It's not just a microwave. It's someone's whole kitchen.

A member of our community makes every meal with one appliance, and it just quit. No stove, no backup, just a counter waiting on a fix.

So here's the ask: one working microwave. Maybe it's sitting unused in your garage, or maybe you'd like to grab one for a neighbor. Either way, we'll get it where it needs to go.

📩 Contact [email protected] if you can help.

Small fix. Hot meal. Big difference. Thank you, Nashville. 💛

“AIDS Ain’t Just Some Big City Problem”

That was the headline of a 1994 Break the Silence print ad featuring Mark Chesnutt.
The campaign challenged the idea that HIV/AIDS belonged only to major cities or distant communities. Its messages were designed especially for rural America, where trusted country voices could reach audiences that mainstream public-health campaigns did not always reach.

Country artists helped carry education, prevention and anti-stigma messages into homes, magazines, radio stations and television broadcasts across the nation.

HIV was never somebody else’s problem. It is still everybody’s concern.
