❤️ ROOTED TOGETHERTwo Lives, One Journey: A Mother & Child’s Story of Living with HIV
One family. Two lives. A powerful story of courage, love, and resilience.
When an Alabama mother sought answers about her newborn son's health, she discovered something that would forever change both their lives: she and her son were living with HIV.
What followed was a shared journey of challenges, perseverance, and determination. Now, they're sharing that journey in their own words.
In recognition of World AIDS Day 2026, join CAARAC's Girls Night Out! initiative for ROOTED TOGETHER, an intimate, inspiring, and honest conversation with a mother and son about their lived experiences with HIV.
Together, we'll explore what it's like to grow up living with HIV, navigate healthcare and relationships, confront stigma, and find strength amid the challenges shaped by race, culture, sexuality, and society's expectations.
This isn't just a conversation about HIV. It's about family, survival, self-determination, and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit.
💜 REAL STORIES. HONEST CONVERSATIONS. POWERFUL CONNECTIONS.
