Catch-Up with Aoife Commins on HIV Advocacy

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423! This Friday's catch up is with Aoife Commins, whose HIV advocacy I have admired for quite some time. Despite the fact that in 2023 the number of women being diagnosed with HIV in Ireland was reported to have doubled since 2019, it's still rare for a woman to share a positive diagnosis. Unfortunately, the stigma around HIV still exists, even though medication now means that a positive diagnosis doesn't need to have a big impact on your life. In this episode you'll hear Aoife's story, how her diagnosis has (and hasn't) impacted her life, and why it's important to get tested.
