}}Tyler Curry (born September 23, 1983) is an LGBT activist and columnist known for his publications, being the editor-at-large for HIV Plus, contributing editor of The Advocate, and for creating the Needle Prick Project. The Needle Prick Project is "an editorial campaign to elicit a candid and open conversation on what it means to be HIV positive today".[1]

Curry is a freelance columnist and fiction writer for online publications such as The Huffington Post, Voltage Buzz, and Instinct.[2][3][4][5] In August 2014, Curry was named as one of HIV Plus Magazine's '20 Amazing HIV-Positive Men of 2014'.[6]

Advocacy

A Dallas, Texas resident, Curry is on the board of the Dallas Red Foundation, "a nonprofit organization focused on providing financial support to organizations in the North Texas area that serve individuals affected by HIV/AIDS."[7] The 2014 board of directors includes president Jeff McKnight, treasurer Jeff Alley, secretary Travis Munson, and board members Dusin Cobb, Curry, Joey Sanders, Ernesto José Herrera-Brito, James Kendall,Devin White, Cody Lynch, Jared A. Pearce, Keith Pomykal, Noah Janowsky, Robert A. Reyes, Kevin Watkins and JT Williams.[8]

Curry is a senior editor and head writer at HIV Equal Online, an online magazine described as "an international multimedia campaign that aims to end HIV stigma and promote HIV testing by creating a social art movement that changes the way people think about HIV and which reopens the national dialogue about HIV."[9] Curry's role includes publishing editorial content for the website and working with freelance writers.[10]

A gay man who is open about his HIV-positive status,[11] Curry is a proponent of others who are HIV-positive addressing and owning their status, stating, "HIV isn't a character flaw, it is a reality that someone either understands or they do not."[12] Stemming from that belief, Curry created "The Needle Prick Project" (TNPP) as an opening to discussions on what being HIV-positive means in today's world.

As an editorial and education campaign, TNPP works for the fight against discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. On the receiving end of discrimination due to HIV, Curry was not allowed back into South Korea after teaching English for a year.[13] South Korea had a policy of not issuing work permits for people that have HIV, but that policy has since been amended.[14]

Curry supports Beat AIDS Project Zimbabwe, a group dedicated to combating HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe.[15]
