On Friday August 23rd, 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 on HIV Care & Treatment in Washington, DC with Olivia G Ford, The Well Project's editorial director.
A Girl Like Me
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.

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 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.
Falling into place Falling fast speed Falling leaves allowed to breathe. They say time heals all wounds.
