The Criminilization Factor of  HIV/ AIDS Positive Women

The issue of criminilization of HIV and AIDS intersects deeply within the multi-layers of individuals dealing with the disease. The Living Affected Corporation has been forthright in keeping this issue as apart of the social determinant mix including our "HEFTE" paradigm of housing, employment, food, transportation and education that often prevents linkages to care. LA Corp is proud to share the following video from the Positive Women's Network  (www.pwn-usa.org ) concerning this vital element affecte women in Arkansas and throughout the country. Please consider purchasing a copies of our ground breaking book, "Our Lives, Our Stories", which describes the interactions of four Arkansans who have survived to tell their personal stories of triumph and tragedy. See the secured Pay Pal portal in the margin of this platform to show us your support for our important work with Women with HIV and AIDS. Can we count on you today?
