Symptoms and Sisterhood: Navigating Perimenopause/Menopause Together: A Girl Like Me LIVE

Submitted on Dec 18, 2025

On December 17, 2025, we held another interactive live episode of A Girl Like Me LIVE. Hosted by Bridgette Picou, LVN, ACLPN, and Dottie Rains-Dowdell, DHSc, the discussion explored the multifaceted journey of perimenopause and menopause for women living with HIV, covering symptom management, healthy coping strategies, and the power of community and storytelling in navigating this transition.

We discussed the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies perimenopause, sharing experiences and insights that resonated with many in our community. With an aim to foster a sense of sisterhood, this conversation empowered participants to build their own support networks while addressing the unique challenges they face.

Whether you're navigating this transition yourself or simply want to learn more, you're not going to want to miss this episode!
