HIV/AIDS Blog Central: Perspectives From the HIV/AIDS Community
My Soul Is Hurting
By Maria T. Mejia March 15, 2013 OK, my soul is hurting. I feel so powerless. I have people from all over the world writing me that they have no medicine! That they are discriminated and it is happening here in the United States also!! It is so sad for me to only offer them my prayers and just sit here and feel like I can't do anything for them and help them!! 
HIV Behind the Walls
By Rev. Andrena Ingram March 15, 2013
The Holy Spirit strikes again. 
A Woman's Vagina Should Not Be a Pawn
By Rae Lewis-Thornton March 13, 2013 I was speechless when I watched this video that one of my Twitter followers, Ann sent to me. As I was shaking my head, I had to look down at my PJ's and remind myself that I am a woman, with a vagina and HIV. 
Awakened From a Nightmare
By Betsy Yung March 11, 2013
Here it is a new year and I have finally returned from a five-month absence. 
Three Condoms Rule No More
By Candace Y.A. Montague March 11, 2013 The three condom rule myth has finally been laid to rest by the D.C. Metropolitan Police. In a press release from The Women's Collective in Northeast, the Police Department has begun to distribute cards that will explain that citizens are allowed to carry as many condoms as they wish in the District. Demands from a local coalition of HIV/AIDS advocates prompted the department to clarify the "rule." 
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 2013: The Real Cost of Shame
March 11, 2013
Yesterday, March 10th marked National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and March 8th marked International Women's Day. We at the Positive Women's Network USA (PWN-USA) are filled with the simultaneous promise of hope and sadness at lost opportunities. 
The Bitter Sweet Pain of Remembrance
By Dave R. March 11, 2013
As you get older things come back to you out of the blue. They do. Unannounced, unexpected and unwanted most of the time and usually in the quiet, more contemplative moments when you just want to switch off and not think of anything. When you're young, you're busy building up libraries of experiences and memories and filling your head and heart up with trivia and absorbed knowledge. When you're older, your memory banks are stuffed to the gills and although you may not be able to remember what you did yesterday, your childhood and later years will burst out of dusty memory files, in spontaneous clips of recollection and without apparent rhyme or reason. 
Accept and Acclimate
By B. Osten March 5, 2013 At our last couple counseling session, "Accept and Acclimate" was the phase my partner used in reference to living with HIV/AIDS. He went on to say that as a society we are defined by our status. To him, it was just another form of oppression. Our way of life. Our fact of life. 
Breaking the Silence on My Struggle With HIV Meds
By Jermaine Wright March 5, 2013 It has been over a year since I have written a blog. Why should I? What allows me to sit here and continue writing about life with HIV when I face so many struggles every day? No one wants to hear about my crap, right? Everyone wants to hear me tell my peers to take their meds and be safe right? How can I tell anyone to take meds and to take care of themselves when I have been struggling with it myself? Who am I to tell someone to be med compliant when I have built a resistance against Atripla because of my own foolishness? 
Anniversaries and a Cure
By Devarah "Dee" Borrego March 5, 2013 Today was my eighth anniversary with HIV. I was diagnosed in a small town doctor's office, all alone and terrified, eight years ago today.
