Jill Cadman is a former patient advocate and educator living with HIV and Stage IV colon cancer.

The lessons I learned about the link between my locks and my body chemistry

Hepatitis C takes this storyteller from fear to action, helping others along the way.

Infertility, a result of living with uterine fibroids became a heartbreaking reality I fought to overcome.

This advocate’s call to action began with an injury, then a viral hepatitis diagnosis, then HIV.

I think when men come home from war, people allow them to be angry and aggressive, but when women come back, they are expected to be OK.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing I did was go online and start reading everything I could about the disease.

Regardless if you were born with a silver or plastic spoon in your mouth, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C affects everyone.

Our community has to break the pain of silence and talk about mental health issues.

HIV medication is one thing, but I also credit much of my success to the support I receive from family and friends.
