Being on a recent Seattle #HIVWomen conference panel including @DrNnekaNwokolo @vanessa_apea @o_g_ford discussing reframing conversations around HIV risk for black women was phenomenal - but I was later asked why not ALL women? Vanessa & I discussed this on #HEALTHandPOWER

One of the highlights of #HIVWomen Workshop in Seattle was chance to hang out with so many amazing people from around the world, working to address inequities experienced by women with HIV. 😍

What do we do with providers who are so resistant around #breastfeeding & #HIV? If Black maternal/infant mortality is so high & breastfeeding could help w/ that, why are they just considering this <1% possibility of transmission? @CiCi_HIV
