#PWNCares

Learn more about the #PWNCares Sister Circle here
PWNCares is an innovative, interactive multimedia series by and for women living with HIV, including women of trans experience, to share their experiences, ask each other the questions that can’t be answered by a doctor or pharmacist, and avoid isolation.

New for 2020, PWN is thrilled to offer a new program designed specifically to offer social support and community-building for cis and trans women living with HIV: #PWNCares Sister Circle.

We have released eight videos in the #PWNCares series! Each video comes with a discussion guide for use in meetings, support groups, etc., and for the release of each video, we hold a virtual coffee table chat, where participants get to watch the first screening of the video, ask questions of the women interviewed and other expert panelists, and share their own experiences–with no need to publicly disclose their status.

The short videos below are trailers. Check them out, and if you want to watch the full video (about 10 minutes each), just click the button underneath them!
