What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

I am inspired by the way healthcare professionals dedicate themselves to responding to HIV, the love and understanding they show, their research efforts to learn more about HIV, and the care and prevention services they offer to communities.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goal is to gain experience and learn many things about HIV.

The IAS promotes the use of non-stigmatizing, people-first language. The translations are all automated in the interest of making our content as widely accessible as possible. Regretfully, they may not always adhere to the people-first language of the original version.
