The National Positive Women's Network has launched!
In June 2008, twenty-eight HIV-positive women leaders gathered from around the U.S. to vision the new U.S. Positive Women's Network.
The National Positive Women's Network is a national membership body designed to strengthen the strategic power of women living with HIV in the U.S. We do this by:
1. identifying, supporting, and cultivating meaningful leadership and relationships among HIV-positive women
2. building capacity for collective action between individuals and organizations working in the field of women and HIV and
3. engaging in strategic campaigns to change policy.

“In most countries and communities I have visited around the world, it is women who have been the most active and effective advocates and activists in the fight against AIDS. Everywhere that the epidemic is taking a severe toll, there are heroic women's groups and cooperatives doing remarkable work on prevention and care.
Supporting these women, and encouraging others to follow their example, must be our strategy for the future. It is among them that the real heroes of this war are to be found. It is our job to furnish them with strength, resources and hope."
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, International Women's Day statement, 2004.
