it's like to live an HIV-positive life -- or to fight for the rights of
HIV-positive people -- you need to meet the people who are on the front
lines of the epidemic. Browse our collection of personal interviews;
both transcripts and audio files are available!
 Nighat Quadri, Program Specialist, STD/AIDS Prevention Branch of the Hawaii Department of Health
"My World AIDS Day message is that if we treat HIV and AIDS just like any other chronic disease, like diabetes or heart disease, and we will definitely be able to reduce the stigma attached to access to care."

Profiles in Courage: D'Jaun Black
"I never really thought about HIV because I really didn't think it pertained to me. I wasn't a promiscuous person, and I was in a committed relationship. So, HIV and me didn't belong in the same sentence."
Profiles in Courage: David Garner
"HIV has allowed me to be a little bit more awake and aware of what's going on in my life, not to take my health for granted, not to take my time for granted, not to take my family and my loved ones for granted."
First Person: Nina Martinez
"I get a lot of questions about my relationship and my sex life. ...
I answer [them] as honestly as I can, because I'm kind of out there like that. I'm not ashamed of anything I do, or don't do. But I tell them: I can still have a relationship. I can still fall in love. I can still be just like you."
