A Girl Like Me (AGLM), a program of The Well Project, is a blog where women ( cis and trans The Well Project serves women across the gender spectrum. (More about gender identity)) 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.

A Girl Like Me!

I went to visit my mother a few weekends ago to check up on her and to just hang out.  A few minutes into the visit, my father handed me an old passport and my kindergarten report card from overseas.  Excitement began to fall upon me. I opened the passport...

Intro - BrooklynLatina923

I am what they call a long term survivor. I have been living with HIV for 25+ years. I have more good days than bad days thank God. I can remember a time when all I had were bad days. I had a very low self esteem. I felt worthless...

Ohio Conference on HIV/AIDS 2014

The Ohio AIDS Coalition recently sponsored the Ohio Conference on HIV/AIDS. The Ohio AIDS Coalition has a new Director, Patrick Beatty. I really feel that he is an amazing resource for Ohio, as he has prior experience in government affairs. So often, changes begin with those political connections....

If I Don't...You Won't

I realize that if I don't mention the word HIV...9 out of 10 times you won't either!

I still don't see any billboards, commercials, or hear any radio announcements pertaining to the fact that it's a Pandemic.

Oh, I'm sorry, let me correct that...

My First Speaking Engagement

I recently had the privilege of speaking for the Ohio State University AIDS Clinical Trials Unit. This was my first time speaking before a group of people (let alone, people who knew my HIV status)! I was terrified to say the least. I volunteer for this organization, so it helped...

Want the change? BE the change.

Being HIV Positive teaches a person about LIFE and how to overcome all "obstacles". About PEOPLE and how to "understand" them.  About SOCIETY and how to change their "mindset".  All it takes are the three P's: Patience, Persistence and Perseverance. There will be Stigma and Discrimination. It is in our...

Don't Have To Dress How You Feel

A Girl Like Me blogger, Justine.Did you know getting dressed up is a form of self-care? I literally did not think of it as self-care until now. Self-care to me is anything that brings me pleasure. Getting dressed up, nails, hair and makeup done is what makes me feel my...

Pleasure in Leather

Positive power

Many hands together in a circle.My lovely people,

Have you ever had a dilemma where you had to choose between what is best for you as a person or for us a HIV community? Last week I had to make such a choice. While getting ready for the 19th European...

And Then Life Went On...

Masonia Traylor.I was reflecting on myself and realized I'm willing to make the mistakes. It may not feel good when I do, however I learn so much from those mistakes. From believing in myself and the lack thereof at times. To holding grudges to venting to moving on. ...
