It feels so good to be safe. I know a couple of my blogs were pretty intense. Since I made the move and I'm running on blind faith, these things are actually coming together, coming together slowly but they are...

A Girl Like Me (AGLM), a program of The Well Project, is a blog where women across the gender spectrum can share their experiences and promote understanding of HIV. Millions of women around the globe are living with HIV, yet many feel they are alone in their disease and isolated in their day-to-day experiences. The goals of AGLM are to help normalize HIV; and to create a safe space for women living with HIV from around the world to speak out and share their experiences – with each other, and with those seeking a support community.

When I think about what it means to live with HIV, "glamorous" is not the first word that pops up in my head. I can think of a few others, but glamour ain't it. Those types of words are reserved...

Thank you Job Corps in Louisville, Kentucky. This is where I received my HIV diagnosis in 1991, after living a life of violence as a teen and an ex non-active gang member when I was 17. I wanted to change my life around.

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. Since that pivotal moment, I've embraced...

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. Even now it's thrown in my face for no...

My lovely people, I promised to share my learning from AIDS 2024 in Munich with you. The two days I spent at the Global Village were quite fruitful as an activist. I decided to go where the noise is this time as it keeps me alive, being together with HIV activists and sharing the concerns of the global HIV community. It has been a fight for 40 years now and HIV activists have been always at the front.

Every moment in life, no matter how beautiful or horrific, can be silver. A glimmer. That's like faith.
