Latinas with HIV discuss disease – New Jersey
Tagged: HIV, latina, New JerseyPosted on: April 10th, 2007“Jacqueline Allen found out she was HIV positive at age 22.
Now as a peer counselor and program coordinator with the New Jersey Women and AIDS Network, Allen said she has experienced the stigma of people thinking they could catch the disease just by being in her presence.
Allen was one of four women, and one of two who are HIV positive, who spoke of living with and working in the field of HIV/AIDS, the stigmas associated with the disease and what should be done to prevent infection at the National Latina Health Networks “A Discussion on Women and HIV/AIDS in the 21st Century” last week.”
