CWAP at AIDS Watch

“On the weekend of the 27th of February, I attended the AIDS United event, AIDS Watch, in Washington D.C. It was an amazing as well as educational experience for me. I met advocates and activists from around the world. We came together and shared how HIV treatment differs from state to state as well as ways to reduce stigma, strengthen advocacy, and how to share our personal story to make a difference. I also learned about the criminalization laws surrounding HIV and how it differs in each state. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. We need you to get involved! CWAP is starting a new workshop, the Peer Action Program. All Peer Ambassadors graduates qualify to sign up.” – Brenda Simmons
