TRANSCRIPT:
Alicia Keys: I'm Alicia Keys. And I am passionate about ending AIDS. I’ve done a lot of work international AIDS issues. I was first introduced to it in 2001. That was a big life changer for me, and that has set my path about fighting the AIDS pandemic. I happened to go to this Kaiser Foundation sponsored event.
AK Footage: “I’m very emotional…and that’s how it should be.”
There were these incredible women all in one room. And they were sharing their stories, you know. And they were living right here in America. And…were just like me, you know. And I realized right there, I was like, wow, there is a whole thing going on here in America that I need to turn my attention to as well. AIDS in America, it is like right here, right now, and we have to start talking about it.
I sat down to talk with five amazing women who are HIV positive. They are confronting the stigma of HIV head on. Together, we want to change the way you think about HIV. You might know women like them in your own life. They’re mothers, wives, daughters, students, caregivers, business owners. They’re just like you, and they’re just like me.
I'm so excited to meet these incredible women. They are such powerful special human beings and they all happen to be HIV positive. It's not out of anyone's realm of possibility when you hear these women's stories. That could be you, that could be your sister, that could be your daughter, that could be all of us.
I think we can educate ourselves too in order to really understand what is this thing that's really going on, what is this epidemic, what is this pandemic. How is it affecting the people in my neighborhood? And I think once we open our eyes to see what's going on, you realize that people you love and respect and admire could be dealing with this too.
It affects us, all of us. We're not talking about this here.
Kym: You're right.
AK: We don't even having these kind of conversations or where it comes from or what it feels and so learning just how much HIV and AIDS are affecting women in particular. I got fired I'm not angry although I did feel kind of an anger in the sense or maybe just a passion. You know I want to just start to speak more and feel like for us to have it down.
Eva: That's natural. As a woman, you're like okay why are we not talking about this? Why is this not being you know put out there more than what it is?
AK: Do you think we know that we're at risk? Like as women, do we know we're at risk
Stephanie: I don't think the reality set into say that we're at risk. Because before I got diagnosed, I didn't think I was at risk.
Jen: I didn't think I was either and pretty much everyone who ends up HIV positive says I didn't think it could happen to me and then it happened to me. I guess living with HIV day-today is in a way it's a bubble because I don't understand everybody else's perceptions and every once in a while I get a peek into it because I find out that somebody who's known be for a while had no idea I was HIV positive and then they're shocked. You know, how can you be a mom, you have a husband and he's HIV negative and you two have sex?
Stephanie: We have the HIV world and what we do when we speak and then we have what people don't know about. We have masks that we wear everyday and they see us but they have no idea what's in the background. So it's like a double life.
AK: Do you find yourself more comfortable in one space or the other?
Stephanie: I find myself more comfortable in the HIV world because I don't have nothing to hide.
Eva: Society is afraid of what they don't know right.
Cristina: And it's okay to be scared cause fear is a fair emotion to have. But if you don't, if we don't look at the people who are scared and try as a community to move our fear into let's be motivated to learn, lets be motivated to listen, let's be motivated to try to understand, whether it's affected, infected, at risk, not at risk you know in any stage of our life. I think that's where fear can be
a really powerful emotion but only if we take it to the next level.
Kym: Right, we have to channel it exactly.
Jen: I really think we have the control right now to end this virus in our generation if we stay...
Yes she is , my ex partner gave me an HIV , the first thing I thought was I cannot give my 7children a lung or kidney ,I was scared to tell people . My kids are amazing , and I'm watching and listening to s lovely woman talking about how she is dealing with her emotions.xx I do not lie about my experience or condition xx
I listened to each one of their stories and thought that it could happen to any one of us. We as people need to understand that HIV should never have a stigma on a person life. Because it doesn't define people with HIV. I pray for a cure. But I will say all of those women are living beautiful lives. And may God bless them all.
I thought it wouldn't happen to me ,IT DID
Xxx
I did a short presentation of HIV using this video in my business class couple days ago and today I finally signed up for a volunteer position at one of local HIV/AIDS nonprofit organizations. I am looking forward what my lord would lead me to do in a near future.

I know this was primarily about Women but I just want to say that as a young, black HIV positive Male I was both touched, & inspired by each one of their stories. I wish there was more I could do myself! But I am at least thankful for them & their honesty. & this just made me love Alicia Keys that much more! Thank you guys for this =)
Hiv is no longer a death sentence...this was a very good segment and i wish everyone could see it...i myself am hiv positive and doing well...i can relate to all of these women and their journey.
Wow thank you for your transparency this was refreshing. #endtheepidemic
❤️❤️❤️
@@kimekabarber8632 hi how are you..
Kym looks like as though Regina Hall and Sanaa Lathan had a baby...SHE IS GORGEOUS!!! You go girl
I work in funding for organizations that provide support for people living with HIV I watch these videos to remind myself who I do it for 🖤
Since I saw this commercial I've been watching these videos. These stories are amazing and their spirits are so strong and even faced with such hard news and realities they are so filled with compassion. I want to wish them all well.
I personnel think we have too many problems with males (and I say it from. terrible experiences) to add this disease on top of all the rest ... so I live single. Certainly the safest way to live in today's world and probably the best considering the other many problems of being in a relationship and having a family to raise
I cried when I was watching this inspiring women.May God bless you.
I was scared and alone. I lived in fear everyday not knowing and it seemed my fear of if I was HIV positive I would still be alone. I needed to know.
I was very empowered by this video it made me cry
I tested Negative. I took test again and tested Negative.
Wow...this was very moving and made me look at Alicia Keys different...commend you for this...
Our world is truly filled with a lot of inspiring people. Thanks for inspiring me. May his blessing be upon you all
Thank all of you for sharing your stories with the world. May you become totally healed, soon.
SO EMPOWERING! Amazing ladies!
***** Does your mum and dad know what you're up to on the internet?
I remember being terrified going in to be tested.I felt like a tipped over glass.I had a little courage to go be tested alone. But I didn't have the courage to ask someone to go with me.
Awesome testimonies so inspiring
I love this video positive women they had strong and I love your music
The stigma is the killer
It really is.
All these woman are AMAZING and INSPIRING
amazing women.. the support they receive and give.
Praying for their healing and health 🙏🙏🙏 To everyone who has not been infected, celibacy prevents all STDS.
Hiv is not that bad. There are worse things that can happen to you.

Thanks for the great talks
Very inspiring, heartfelt and informative sharing of 5 powerful positive women. The only way to beat stigma and ignorance is by educating each other & staying informed! Please watch as these women could represent a relative, friend, neighbour or anyone of us, including myself.
Beautiful young ladies, thank you for this education. The time will come when this is looked at
as similar to kidney disease, diabetes or heart disease. Education in schools is the answer.
I had a very dear friend who died from AIDS several years later. She stop visting me for years I didn't know why.
Sorry 4 your losd
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾💞
She gave up and decided to tell family and friends she was HIV postive which had gone into full AIDS. We shared a few close moments after she opened up.
She died a few months later.
wow, Alicia u're the most beautiful creature i've ever seen in this world, 5 ladies you're such great n wonderful women ever
Alicia keys is beautiful
Hey Alicia Keys you look so beautiful and you are my favorite female artist 🌹🌹🌹❤️
Well I wanted to know more about HIV. I was very young and I kind of was thinking like someone who see a tip over glass of water and there is a little left in the glass lying on its side.
I remember the first time I went in to be tested for HIV. I really didn't know much about HIV but I heard it was a sexual killer.
One day I will get my life partner
Amazing women! #Impacters
La!
Sorry I believe this video is a set-up... However the stories r based on reality 4 sure
