Katherine
PRESIDENT
When I was diagnosed with HIV in 1987, I was given a 12 months to live. At this time I had a four year old son and worked as a trained Child Care Worker. As a heterosexual woman living with HIV, I felt incredibly isolated and kept my diagnosis a secret for 10 years. Then in 1997 I discovered HIV services and organisations and joined the then PLWHA board in 1997. I finally had access to valuable information, other people living with HIV, training and became a Positive Speaker. After several years as a Board Director I was nominated for Vice President and held this position for nine years. I then became PLSA President in 2016 and as an openly positive woman I continue to strongly advocate for the rights of our diverse HIV community and ensure our issues remain high on both the national and local agenda.
Kerry
