Positive Women Inc . is a support organisation
for Women and Families living with HIV and AIDs.

Women represent the invisible face of the HIV and AIDS epidemic. These are
Women who lead the very usual life of the average New Zealander. Women who
run households, cook dinner, have jobs, raise families and have grandchildren.
Often these women look after sick partners and keep everything together.
