It’s a Wellness Wednesday and we’re talking about HIV and AIDS — an issue that isn’t making the headlines the way it once did. It remains however, a very real health issue, impacting far too many people right here in the DMV. The truth is, HIV is preventable. Treatment has come a long way and with the right information, people can live long, healthy lives. We’re cutting through the stigma, the misinformation, and the silence for an honest conversation about prevention, treatment, and what everyone should know in 2026. We’re joined by two health experts to help guide the conversation.
