Let's Fight HIV Together Roundup
Motherhood can be a scary and, sometimes, isolating experience. Those of us who are so plugged into online communities of other parents can take the support we get for granted. But for many women -- especially those who are HIV+ -- those communities of support don't exist.
The Center for Disease Control's Let's Stop HIV Together campaign highlights the stories of HIV+ men and women, many of whom are parents. Recently, our bloggers got to talk to Michelle and Masonia, two HIV+ mothers whose resilience and strength inspired us all.
The CDC's Let's Stop HIV Together campaign focuses on eliminating the stigmas and discrimination that, unfortunately, people who are HIV+ still experience. Check out the posts from our bloggers highlighting Michelle and Masonia's stories and the Let's Stop HIV Together campaign:
