When I was 27, I became HIV positive. I was a single mom with a 7-year-old son (who is now a 23-year-old college graduate with a degree in business management). When I first became HIV positive, I started going to the Women’s Collective meetings with Ms. Patricia, who was like a second mom to me and my three boys. I have learned so much from TWC, including several life lessons.
How to take care of yourself with newly diagnosed HIV:
The first thing is to go to a doctor.
Take your medication.
Get a case manager.
I would like to say thank you to all the staff and care services, and prevention services. Also, love the cofounder of TWC, Ms. Patricia Nails
