Destiny Smith is an HIV advocate from Davenport, Iowa. She was diagnosed with HIV the day after Christmas in 2017 while pregnant.
Destiny is the proud mother of two adorable, energetic, HIV-negative children. She recently started a career as a medical assistant and loves helping others.
As a new blogger with A Girl Like Me, one of Destiny's blogs was in our top ten most read blogs of 2019. Destiny is the founder of Positively Safe+, a "safe space" group on Facebook for both men and women living with HIV. She is also in the process of completing her book, Living My Truth, giving readers a look into her life and her journey dealing with poverty, being a single mother, dealing with grief, and receiving an HIV diagnosis.
Destiny believes her positive status is a testimony and does not define her as a person. She plans to continue to educate herself so she can educate others.
