It has been a beautiful experience participating in the creation of Life and Love with HIV, I'm proud to be part of this global community of strong women that courageously speak up for their rights as sexual beings and by doing so, help lessen the stigma of HIV. It's time to de-medicalize our sex lives and reclaim our right to enjoy sex and intimacy. – Margarite Sanchez

Contributing to Life and love with HIV has been an enlightening and very empowering experience. I got to connect with a diverse group of women and learn from their experiences and thoughts about various aspects of sex, sexuality, and pleasure. I feel empowered by the experience of it all, particularly from the various moments in the last year in which, through our online magazine, we engaged in discussions of sexuality for women living with HIV from the lens of pleasure and not only from risk - a conversation that needs to continue happening, that I believe is useful for shaping the narratives about a woman's body, autonomy and choice. – Florence Anam

Being part of a group of women who write and who happen to live and often thrive with HIV has been a truly nourishing and grounding experience. It’s easy to feel both, othered and isolated when your written word contains your vulnerable truth but being part of this group allowed me an ongoing sense of a writing family. It has helped my writing about the most intimate aspects of life to flow and to flourish. – Juno Roche

Writing for Life and Love has changed my ability to share my experience with support, encouragement and love, honestly without judgement or fear. – Wynne ST

What the writing meant to me is, it was such a great experience to share what we as young people living with HIV experience while dating and growing to accept our status. My experiences have impacted so many young people to accepting their status and living great life. My wish is to have as many of us share our experience and lets make HIV our issue. Thank you. – Just Stash

What I love about the Life and Love with HIV platform is that: as a service providers, I learn a lot from the bloggers and share the information with other ladies; I share the website with newly diagnosed women who think after an HIV diagnoses it is the end of their sexual pleasure; and personally I use every tip that has been shared to enhance my love life. There is always a story that you can identify with as a woman living with HIV – diverse stories that are targeted at young women, older women, trans women, researchers and affected loved ones globally.
