Sharing stories and hearing other people’s experiences is a great way to understand what HIV, sex and stigma means to people today.
The stories on our site are submitted and gathered from people all over the world. We want more people to feel able to talk about HIV and share their experiences. Speaking up, even if it's just starting a conversation with friends and family, can change the way people think about HIV and make you feel less alone.
