battling stigma

Words have tremendous power. That dumb ass saying about sticks and stones makes sense to say to kids, because its coming from an adult perspective with the experience of having learned to deal with the pain of harsh words.

I had the extreme honor of presenting our poster Updated Infant Feeding Recommendations for US Parents Living with HIV: Empowering Patient/Provider Partnership & Communication at the 2024 National Ryan White Conference...

The year was 1991. I was just diagnosed with HIV. I was 18 years old and my dream was to become a marine.

Todos tenemos una historia, un logro, algo que puede no parecer tan glamuroso a primera vista – pero el aliento de nuestros cuerpos son un testamento para la siguiente persona de que las cosas difíciles se pueden hacer.

All of us have a story, a triumph, something that may not be so glamourous at face value – but the breath in our bodies stand as a testament to the next person that hard things can be done.

All my love for you Job Corps; I've been meaning to write this blog for years!

I am Kimberly June Skeete. My pronouns are She/Her. As a Black Trans Woman, I move through the world with unapologetic positivity, authenticity, and queerness. My diagnosis was the catalyst for discovering my strength.

I can honestly say I'm the most respected and hated person in a mile radius. Outreach is my passion since experiencing very traumatic events throughout my diagnosis of being HIV positive.

The tracks leave uncertainty cruelty and shame. The devil lied, it's part of his game. Fear the Lord and find your space. I'm not falling apart I'm falling into place.

Are you talented and never let HIV stigma stand in your way? We are looking for talents to share their experience during World AIDS day on the 1st of December 2024.
