What do you want to know?

As you've probably noticed, "As Told By Laury" is finally here! Some of you may remember nurse Laury Mckean's information-packed presentation at last November's Harvest Dinner. Many of you were able to ask her your important questions about women and HIV at that time, but for those of you who didn't have that chance, Laury has graciously agreed to answer your questions in this new monthly column, "As Told By Laury." This is your opportunity to learn more about women and HIV, so please don't be shy! Whether it's about medication side effects or where we positive people stand statistically today, all questions are welcome. You may submit your questions in your own name or make up a new one to protect your identity. If you have an HIV-related question you'd like Laury to answer, please send it to Tonya via e-mail at tonya@babesnetwork.org or call her at (206) 720-5566 x16 to submit it via telephone.
