Rob Newman - PHA Peer Support Advocate Regional HIV/AIDS Connection

Diagnosed December 1990, I have been an active and outspoken “activist” ever since.  When not busying myself over the years with work directly involving the AIDS movement I also ran the London Compassion Society until a police raid and subsequent trials and tribulations that come with that form of activism.  In 2006 I returned to school for a degree in law to devote my full time and energy to social justice.  Today I do advocacy work for clients at the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection.

PHA = persons/people living with HIV/AIDS
