" For a long time, I believed my story wasn't worth sharing.

After being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2018—following a health crisis that left me on life support—I wasn't just fighting to survive physically. I was battling a deep sense of shame. Stigma took root in me before I could even begin to process what had happened. I didn't just feel different; I felt invisible.

I found The Well Project and A Girl Like Me not long after that. I read other women's stories—raw, brave, beautiful—and I felt seen in a way I hadn't before. But when it came time to share my own voice, I hesitated. I convinced myself I wasn't strong enough, smart enough, or "together" enough to belong here.

The truth is, I didn't need to be perfect. I just needed to be real."

Being part of A Girl Like Me isn't just about telling my story. It's about showing someone else what's possible when we finally decide to stop hiding... We are exactly what someone else needs to see.

In the United States, sexual contact is the most common way that HIV is passed from person to person. S*x allows for the exchange of certain body fluids that have consistently been found to transmit HIV: blood, semen, re**al and va**nal secretions. HIV has also been found in extremely low, non-infectious amounts in other fluids (saliva, tears and urine); but no transmissions through these fluids have been reported to the CDC.

via POZ Magazine

HIV enters the body through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the a**s or va**na; or through direct injection. There are several ways by which this can happen.
