Claudia Medina: Fighting for Latino People With HIV
After her HIV diagnosis and clinical
depression in 1994, Claudia Medina wanted to help other people living
with HIV/AIDS. Born in Colombia, South America, she began by
volunteering in Toronto, where she had lived ever since the age of 5.
She joined the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation’s (PWA) Speakers
Bureau and became a caseworker at PWA. Dissatisfied for years with the
level of HIV awareness and support in the Latino community, Medina
recently co-founded Latinos Positivos, a network for Latino people
living with HIV/AIDS.
