Not all wounds are visible. In this powerful episode of BSTADV, host Tara Woodlee sits down with HIV advocate and founder of the Bee HIV+ Foundation, Marie Niles, for an honest conversation about the often-overlooked health consequences of abuse.
Together, they explore how domestic violence, sexual coercion, and trauma can increase a survivor's risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, why stigma continues to silence so many, and how education can empower survivors to take back control of their health and their future.
Through Marie's inspiring journey of resilience and advocacy, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the connection between abuse and sexual health while discovering that healing begins with breaking the silence.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, sexual violence, trauma, HIV, and other sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.
