aging and HIV

Rio reminded me that ultimately the HIV response is powered by people from the many local HIV communities who refuse to disappear.

Jyoti Dhawale stands in the long lineage of people who refuse silence. For more than 20 years, she has lived openly with HIV in a society where stigma still tries to shape destiny.

Hoy sigo adelante más saludable que nunca, más fuerte en mente, cuerpo y espíritu.

As I continue forward, I am healthier than ever, stronger in mind, body, and spirit.

I do not associate with victimhood. Yet, in these moments, the victimization of a careless Congress and presidential administration may leave me vulnerable with an inability to pay for medical care and manage my disease.

Chiiiiillleee... You ever get so caught up in life that HIV doesn't even have a space in your thoughts?
