What Would An HIV Doula Do?

What Would An HIV Doula Do? is collective of artists, activists, academics, chaplains, doulas, healthcare practitioners, nurses, filmmakers, AIDS Service Organization employees, dancers, community educators, and others from across the HIV spectrum joined in response to the ongoing AIDS crisis. We understand a doula as someone in community who holds space for others during a time of transition. For us, HIV is a series of moments in someone’s life that does not start with diagnosis nor end with treatment or death. The collective organizes around testing, culture, and against HIV criminalization. The collective organizes around testing, culture, and against HIV criminalization.
