    This was a very educational interview. I love listening to brave people who have the courage to speak up about a disease that is full of stigma and discrimination.

    That was great! I'm not HIV positive, but I greatly appreciate the message, because I am aging and still thriving.

    What an interesting/fascinating interview.
    Kathy is an amazing speaker and storyteller...she speaks as if she were your friend.
    I'm a retired RN, and I've cared for many AIDS patients. I had one AIDS patient who I will never forget, her story is sadly remarkable.
    I believe this was in ~1994? She was admitted with pneumonia, which was actually pneumocystis pneumonia. (now called pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, I hate when that happens.😉) She passed after a month. I was with her every day, even on my days off.
    She truly changed my life for the better.🥰
    As a side note: Kathy, you are NOT a nerd. You are just like me...blessed with curiosity.
