Under a collaborative partnership with the Michigan AIDS Foundation's "Positive Perspective" Speakers Bureau we interviewed various HIV Positive African American Women, so you could listen to their stories as means of prevention.
For too many, AIDS is no longer a crisis. It doesn’t make headlines anymore, and medicines keep people alive longer.
The epidemic becomes real, however, when someone you know tests positive. That’s when you realize, the crisis isn’t over.
The moving stories of brave HIV-positive individuals are helping put a face to AIDS and making it real for audiences across Michigan.
A Positive Perspective, our speaker’s bureau, offers testimonials about what it’s like to live with HIV/AIDS. These stories help personalize the risks of HIV infection and promote positive behavioral changes.
Listeners identify with the speakers and quickly learn that they, too, may be vulnerable.
A Positive Perspective is part of our goal of reversing the epidemic, one crisis at a time, by preventing new HIV infections.
There is no charge for this service, and speakers address a variety of audiences, including schools, faith-based groups, treatment programs and others.
