Powerful thread.
I overheard a young man on the train on the way home today, talking to another young man. Holding hands. In college, I guessed. About that age anyway. Much younger than I am.

We had the privilege of hearing from Paige Rawls today. Paige has been living with HIV since birth, faced terrible bullying during middle & high school, and is now an outspoken advocate for people living with the disease.

We would love to see a one-time routine HIV screening become part of a regular health & wellness check. This would help reduce stigma & provide early detection. yahoo.com/lifestyle/m/e12691…
