At 48 I look back at my life and it's clear that the only reason I'm standing here with my Beeb and NuNu is because Jesus literally has saved me. From being a victim of multiple sexual assaults, drug addiction, domestic violence, jail, being diagnosed with HIV while in jail and pregnant in 1998, given ten years to live and still standing strong.

Have you ever been so depressed that you couldn't breathe? Like an elephant on your chest in a sauna? I just experienced that feeling this weekend, and I barely survived it honestly. It all started about 3-4 weeks ago when my insurance was stopped all of a sudden and I could no longer get my meds, any of them.

Having this knowledge allows both women living with HIV and their healthcare providers to advocate for personalized care by starting preventive screenings early and adopting targeted lifestyle changes.

By Bridgette Picou, LVN, ACLPN There is no doubt that research and science are an integral part of HIV.

I have not written or posted a blog for a while now. I have been struggling with lots of challenges that affect my mental health in many ways. Life just keeps throwing tantrums at me.
