Welcome to Doorways' most recent foray into new technology -- a blog exploring current issues for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Why, you ask?

Because we want YOU to be part of the conversation! We want to help build an on-line community in which folks can share ideas, hear the latest in HIV/AIDS related news, and get involved in making the world a better place.

For now, we will be posting once a week on Mondays, but that could change depending on the number of folks who decide they want to get more involved. Almost anything is game: New advances in treatment, tales of discrimination against PLWHA, laws, policies... you name it.
