Conference Updates

"Attending the US Cure Academy reminded me that even through grief, setbacks, and uncertainty, purpose still finds a way to meet you where you are."

"That's part of what makes these babies so exciting: If we could learn more about their immune systems, that knowledge could possibly lead to making better medications or even a cure."

"In summary, sex and gender both impact a variety of health outcomes. Representation will allow the identification of important differences and may point to better treatment pathways."

Members of The Well Project's community were involved at USCHA 2025 on various levels, reporting on as well as presenting at the nation's largest HIV community meeting.

"I can only imagine how women have survived for so long as sexual pleasure has been stigmatized by so many people for centuries."

"Our plan was to discuss the various aspects of our services that are lacking and then build a physical model to represent those inequities."

"So how do you find your community where there is none? This is a challenge."

"We focus on our health but often that’s not enough. What about living a full life in every sense? Women are burdened with many responsibilities and traumas."

Well, I made it to USCHA in Washington DC... I love coming to these conferences because they are so personally beneficial for me as an advocate.

I have lost count of the number of years that I have come to this space to cheer for honorees, attend or present workshops, take in tailored updates on the HIV epidemic among women and girls from renowned experts in the field, meet new collaborators, and catch up with longtime comrades.
