“I’d only been out of pharmacy school for a few years when the first AIDS case was documented in 1981... At first, nobody knew what was happening; we just knew people were dying and there was no cure. There was a lot of stigma, fear and confusion in those days, and the community wasn’t sure who they could trust. Along with other doctors, nurses, social workers, as pharmacists, we helped people ease their suffering with the limited options we had. We were all scared, but did what we could.” —Glen Pietrandoni, RPh, AAHIVP, from the July+August 2020 issue of Positively Aware positivelyaware.com

Celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, we pay tribute to some of the champions who’ve been featured in our pages: . Tatyana's story: "When she was incarcerated...they would send her to a local HIV clinic every three months, and that is where she discovered POSITIVELY AWARE. She told me it gave her hope—I think her exact words were, it saved my life. She told me that reading about my personal journey and my own struggles touched her deeply during a dark time in her life (she had learned she was HIV positive and had lost a friend due to complications from AIDS), but by reading the magazine somehow she knew she was going to be okay."—Positively Aware editor-in-chief Jeff Berry, during an chance encounter with a young black trans woman at an HIV conference. —from Editor's Note, March+April 2019 www.positivelyaware.com/PA30 (link also in bio)

Celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, Positively Aware pays tribute to some of the champions who’ve inspired our readers: Masonia Traylor: Diagnosed with HIV in 2010 at the age of 23, it wasn’t long before Masonia became an advocate: “I would rather others be uncomfortable because I am public with my status than for them to ever make me feel ashamed and uncomfortable with it.” —from “Social Justice Sheroes,” May+June 2019.

“… I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
