battling stigma

Not only do I want these things, I deserve them. So does everyone else living with HIV. Shift the paradigm. Let's talk about pleasure.

No solo quiero estas cosas, las merezco. Igual que todos los demás viviendo con VIH. Cambia el paradigma. Habla sobre el placer.

I had the extreme honor of presenting our poster Updated Infant Feeding Recommendations for US Parents Living with HIV: Empowering Patient/Provider Partnership & Communication at the 2024 National Ryan White Conference...

Todos tenemos una historia, un logro, algo que puede no parecer tan glamuroso a primera vista – pero el aliento de nuestros cuerpos son un testamento para la siguiente persona de que las cosas difíciles se pueden hacer.

All my love for you Job Corps; I've been meaning to write this blog for years!

I am Kimberly June Skeete. My pronouns are She/Her. As a Black Trans Woman, I move through the world with unapologetic positivity, authenticity, and queerness. My diagnosis was the catalyst for discovering my strength.

I can honestly say I'm the most respected and hated person in a mile radius. Outreach is my passion since experiencing very traumatic events throughout my diagnosis of being HIV positive.
