Positive Women We Make the Change We Make The Change represents the idea that, by turning our knowledge of HIV into action, we become a powerful threat against the AIDS epidemic - and that the change starts with each of us. We can make changes in our own lives, and then in our community, to stop the spread of HIV infection. By coming together, and sharing information, we build the foundation for a stronger neighborhood, a stronger family, and a stronger message - we are more powerful than the disease.
