Who We Are

BABES Network-YWCA is a peer support program for women living with HIV; a sisterhood of women facing HIV together. BABES was started by a group of HIV positive women in Seattle, Washington who came together to share information, experiences and support.

BABES is a program of the YWCA of Seattle-King County- Snohomish County that provides:

  • Peer Counseling
  • Support Groups
  • Gatherings
  • Retreats
  • Advocacy & Self-Advocacy Training
  • Educational Forums

Our HIV/AIDS Outreach & Prevention Education (HOPE) Project trains and coordinates people living with HIV to share their stories through media campaigns, speaking engagements and community forums in order to educate the public, combat stigma and stop the spread of HIV.
