Wisdom for Women: An Expert's Take on HIV and Gender Differences

I am really pleased to see this issue being discussed. I have been positive for 22 years and have often asked the same questions the interviewer is asking. It is a shame that, 25 years into this pandemic, we still have these questions about gender differences. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching it.

Beth Benne: Nursing HIV Awareness
Beth Benne, RN, is HIV negative, but the virus has impacted her life. She currently supervises a biannual HIV/AIDS awareness week as the director of the student health center at Pierce College, a community commuter school in Woodland Hills, California.

Overheard in the Women's Forum
"I recently met a guy who is negative. I did tell him about my status and he decided to kiss me anyway (we didn't go further than that). But a day later, he called and said that he actually had a mouth ulcer that time when we kissed and he was very worried. Asked if he can get the virus from me that way. For that moment, I felt so insulted and yet I felt so bad. It was my first time having a contact with a "negative" guy."
