A Girl Like Me (AGLM), a program of The Well Project, is a blog where women ( cis and trans ) 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.

Never be ashamed because you are #HIVpositive. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Date someone you find compatibility with, educate the person, let the person take time to understand you and your health. Don't rush into things but...

You ever met somebody who had ALL the STDs? Welp, that would be me. Well, maybe not all of them. But I have enough. So you know about the HIV. Blah blah blah. But I wasn't so pressed to tell...

January 8, 2020 I took my first trip of the year and my first international trip at that to Honduras! January 8 has so much more of a meaning for me, and by that I mean it's my little twin...
