Not only did my website go live on this day in 2011 but it also meant I publicly disclosed my HIV status for the first time.
 
So much has happened since then, good and bad but mostly fantastic!
 
Many thanks to everyone who stood by me during this ongoing process of living, it has been an interesting journey.
 
I have met, befriended and counselled many an HIV positive individual and some near misses (turned out negative)
 
Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to speak to many people on World AIDS Day, and have enjoyed hosting a number of training events to boot.
 
Long live the infected!

On 29 August, 2017, in Media, Speaking Engagements, by Cindy Pivacic

What a fantastic initiative is this!

RX Radio is a radio station– run by and for children – at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

The initiative aims to create a platform for communication between hospitalised children, their families, and the health services by providing patients with the skills and support to produce and broadcast radio programmes across the hospital.

In addition, they are a project initiated under the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital Facility Board.

Viber Invite & Press Release

On 19 January, 2016, in Health and Wellness, Media, Resource, Training, by Cindy Pivacic

Game On!

My quote for Viber Press Release Today

“We’re in a new era of HIV care and prevention”, says Cindy Pivacic, HIV Speaker, Trainer and Activist. “Viber Public Chats represent an ideal platform for spreading messages and debating HIV issues.” Cindy’s decision to go public with her status was prompted by her own experience with the disease. After acquiring numerous illnesses associated with HIV and AIDS, Cindy realised that she would not cope without the help of others. “Through the use of Viber Public Chats, I hope to bring together a group of people who have experiences to share and discuss HIV knowledge, stigma and prevention and ultimately call on people to get tested.”
