Hello,

I am new to this but have been living with B12 for a little over four years now and it's been a very hard road to recovery. I say B12 instead of HIV because we have not had this talk with our children yet and it just feels better and is my way of coping when ppl are with me and I have to tell the doctor or the er nurse what all of my conditions are.

Farah Jeune is an artist who utilizes her love for doodling as a tool for social change. As a 2016 & 2017 National Minority Aids Council (NMAC) Youth Advocate, Farah learned about the mass amount of stigma behind HIV in our communities and the health disparities throughout the nation. “I care immensely about the health and wellness of my fellow peers. It’s very important to me to be one of the voices that help de-stigmatize these issues that keep us from staying healthy, safer, S.E.X.Y.,” says Farah Jeune.

Surveys and Clinical Trials

Public group

Commons Groups: Group contributor count and topics

Women are drastically underrepresented in HIV research, including clinical trials and surveys. This means that many decisions about women's HIV care, treatment, and needs are based on research studies in men. Women's needs and bodies are different, consequently it is important for women to participate in surveys and research. We invite our members to post information about surveys and clinical trials for women living with HIV in this group.

A place where we can share our experiences and effects of being a long term survivor.

only those that lived in those times Pre-HAART can understand what we have been through! We were the Guinea pigs for the medication that we have now. we come from an era where we had nothing but each other. Many of us are living in isolation, we have PTSD,Depression and Anxiety! WE ARE THE FORGOTTEN ONES! we are still here and alive. #Longtermsurvirosmatter

Many can learn from our experience ! we have a fountain of information.

 

love and light
