INFO FOR US
A Positive Woman’s Survival Kit is based on experiences shared by women living with HIV around the world. However, we are not all the same. We have different opinions and viewpoints about life, work, relations, religion, politics and HIV/AIDS. The Survival Kit reflects this.
If you don’t understand something you read, find the courage and ask someone about it. Or write to us at info@icwglobal.org. There is no such thing as a ‘silly question’. Everyone learns by asking questions and no one knows all the answers. Positive women all over the world are drawing inspiration and strength from each other. The Survival Kit is part of that process.
We hope it encourages you and helps you to lead happy and healthy lives.
“Meeting other women sharing our experience helps
remind us that we do belong - that we are not alone.”
Maria, diagnosed 1987, Uganda
“Do I look like a figure or a statistic? I am a person, a
woman living with HIV.”
Bridgette, HIV positive, Zambia
“There are no words to describe the power of
bringing together HIV positive women. When I met other women facing this disease, just like I was, I realised I was not alone.”
Antigone Hodgins, diagnosed 1990, USA
