What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

The passion I have for working with marginalized and stigmatized groups inspires me. I would really love to see a world where every person accesses stigma-free services. I am also inspired by making sure that no one loses their life because of lack of access to services.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goals are to advocate for the inclusiveness of marginalized populations in HIV care services and to provide stigma-free services to female sex workers.

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.
