activism, advocacy

Amo ser mujer! A esta edad y con todo lo vivido y aprendido amo cada vez más, ser mujer!

I just attended my first CROI (Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections). It was also my first virtual conference and my first conference since the quarantine apocalypse began

Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), a very important day for us women living with the human condition of HIV.

Hoy es el Día Nacional de Concientización sobre el VIH/SIDA en las Mujeres y Niñas (NWGHAAD, en inglés), un día muy importante para nosotras, las mujeres viviendo con la condición humana del VIH.

Why do many of us still underestimate the value we bring, why do we struggle to embrace our unique feminine leadership strengths, and why do we remain silent and let our rights be violated?

The hardest war ever fought is against self. That's all in the book. If it wasn't for AIDS, where would I be?

Dear Advocate, 2021, so far, has been a year of focusing on me and choosing me above all else. Too often I have dimmed my light and emptied my cup for the needs of others.

Last year we were all rocked by a deadly new virus. Somewhat like the early days of HIV, we didn't really understand the modes of transmission—we just knew it was potentially deadly.

Given that we are in February, which is not only Black History month but also the month of LOVE, I felt compelled to share this message with y'all.

Seeing how free people felt about sharing their COVID results but knowing if it were HIV they wouldn't - well DON'T - do the same.
