I’ve lived with HIV for 30 years and I’m healthy and happy. Can I ask you to make one small step today to end stigma and shame? Maybe start a conversation in your home, school, workplace? The old slogan ‘silence is death’ still holds true. Share if you can. Many thanks.

If you must choose between blogging or sending an email newsletter, the latter is best for most writers' long-term career development. Blogging is great for attracting new readers, but most writers don't do sufficient market research to make it work. buff.ly/3qpGvBi
