Coinciding with National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Greater Than AIDS today launched Empowered: Women, HIV and Intimate Partner Violence to bring more attention to the issues and provide resources for women who may be at risk of, or dealing with, abuse and HIV.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and The Well Project is dedicated to raising awareness about the intersection of violence, trauma, women, and HIV, and helping end violence against women living with HIV. What is the connection?

via The University of North Carolina There has been an increase in HIV cure-related research in the recent years. We would like to find out how people living with HIV (or potential HIV cure research volunteers) perceive HIV cure research, including their willingness to participate in HIV cure studies. We would also like to find out what would help implement HIV cure studies. Your answers to these questions will be kept strictly confidential.

In many ways, one of our greatest success stories in the fight against HIV/AIDS to date has been our ability to reduce dramatically the rate of new HIV infections being passed from mother to child.
