Phil is a prominent HIV/AIDS activist and founded the Black AIDS Institute in 1999. In 2010, he was appointed to President Obama’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. He served as a World AIDS Summit delegate and advocated for the CDC to provide funding to Black groups so they would have the resources to educate and mobilize their community around HIV/AIDS issues. His work resulted in the “Act Against AIDS” campaign, now known as the “Let’s Stop HIV Together” campaign, which promotes HIV testing, prevention, and treatment.
