Supporting Women and Girls with HIV

Real Talk with NMAC

Women and girls often face the highest level of stigma of people living with HIV. In this episode, host Gabriella Spencer gathers with a panel to discuss how we can better support and advocate for women and girls living with HIV.

Gabriella and guests honor National Women’s and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and discuss how an awareness day helps to support and empower women and girls living with HIV. The group shares how they’ve seen women and girls impacted by HIV and HIV stigma in their respective communities, how we can better serve these communities through listening and imparting information, how we can show that every individual has value, how normalizing HIV in healthcare and education can reduce stigma, and what allyship looks like and how it can end the epidemic.
