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.

January 8, 2020 I took my first trip of the year and my first international trip at that to Honduras! January 8 has so much more of a meaning for me, and by that I mean it's my little twin...
UequalsU, not HIV. One year and eight days ago I was diagnosed with HIV. I'm not a victim! I'm walking sunshine with victory that's filled with powerful testimonies. I thank God that I'm alive and he chose me to be...
I am a twenty-four year old African American woman who is HIV positive. One in seven black people with HIV are unaware that they have it. I was twenty-two when I found out I was positive. I was also pregnant...
