Did you know that in the last eight years, social media usage has skyrocketed from 8 percent to 73 percent of all Internet users? Research also shows that people who use Facebook get more social support and are more politically engaged than those who don’t. Why is that important? Because they demonstrate that The Well Project, which has used technology as a platform to disseminate information and build community and advocacy since 2002, is more relevant and necessary than ever. From the beginning, The Well Project has worked tirelessly to leverage technology to change the course of the HIV epidemic, and today we have become the go-to global online resource for women living with HIV.

Thank you for all that you have done to make what we do possible. Together, we can change the course of the HIV epidemic…one woman at a time.
