What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

HIV and AIDS has had a significant adverse impact on populations globally, especially vulnerable groups, such as women and children. I am inspired to work in the HIV field because my efforts will contribute to solving a global health problem, enabling me to have a worldwide impact from my local setting.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

Participate in and influence new strategies to improve processes for the care and treatment of people living with HIV, as well as motivate health partners and associations to reach out to strengthen alliances and support networks, update information on HIV and integrated health issues.
