"Upon hearing the title, I expected to hear about some form of injection as a cure, similar to a vaccine. But I was quite mistaken."

"No one could ever understand the sentiment she was expressing through her words like someone else living with the virus in their blood. It makes us connected."

The Well Project is thrilled to co-sponsor this series of webinars discussing needs and concerns specific to people who have lived with HIV for many years around the research towards a cure for HIV.

"While this year I was not a presenter, I was able to participate in the exhibition hall representing The Well Project as a proud member of the CAB (community advisory board). I was able to interact with over 248 people that stopped by our table to get information on women living with HIV."

"[The session] was a reminder that when society tries to invoke a negative reaction to one's experience, it is ultimately up to the individual on how they choose to respond to those negative views, what their truth will be, and how they choose to show up in the face of such adversities."
