Telling the world you are HIV positive is daunting for anyone, even more so if you are a woman. HIV-positive women remain more isolated and stigmatized than men with HIV. Perhaps it's because most women with HIV have children and worry that their children could experience discrimination. So to disclose on the Internet takes a certain fearlessness. The extraordinary women featured on this page are committed to being a voice for women who are terrified of telling another soul that they are HIV positive. Read their stories and you'll find that their strength will be contagious!
