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.

The views and opinions expressed in blog posts on the A Girl Like Me platform are the authors' own. They do not necessarily reflect any policy or position of The Well Project and are not intended as professional advice.

I'm the first to admit that I don't know much about the Health Care Reform Bill. But I am also the first to shout that we need a change in the U.S. health care system.

On March 10th, those of us in the USA will observe National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. As a woman living with AIDS, I experience a variety of emotions around "awareness days" like this.
