Peer support is critical emotional support for dealing with all that comes with an HIV diagnosis, especially stigma and self-stigma. No one should have to work through this alone.
"I credit peer support in keeping me alive long enough through the 1990’s to be able to access effective HIV medication in 1996" - the amazing @garrybrough penned a blog on #WorldAIDSDay last Friday on the evolution of #HIV peer support, give it a read https://t.co/NASJyA9Itz
So long as we are blindly following others or competing with them, we will always be unfulfilled. Find what you value most, linked to your self-worth, and live this every day.

- don’t eat junk food
- don’t sell time
👇🏻
