Today we recognize World AIDS Day and the people whose lives have been touched by HIV. For our community, this day is personal. The losses from the 80s and 90s are part of our history, and we will always honor the individuals and families affected.

We continue to stand with those living with HIV, push for education and safer care everywhere, and work toward a future where stigma has no place in anyone’s healthcare journey.

Welcome to Beyond the Bleeds, where real stories and heart meet medical insight.

Is the Conference Worth It?

We asked Stephanie Paap this question after she attended the National Bleeding Disorder Foundation Conference with her daughters, and her answer was immediate and emphatic: Just do it.

What struck us about Stephanie's experience wasn't just about the educational sessions or learning about new treatments, though those are valuable. It was about the unexpected connections that formed.

Her daughters connected with friends from camp at the conference, and through those connections, Stephanie's family built new friendships with other families. Relationships that wouldn't have existed without everyone being together in that space.

That's the magic of these conferences. You can't predict what connections you'll make or how they'll impact your life. But Stephanie's message is clear: The investment of time and resources is absolutely worth it.

The bleeding disorders community is small - less than 1% of the population - which makes these gatherings even more precious. Finding your people, connecting with families who understand your journey, and building a support network that extends beyond the conference... that's invaluable.

If you've been thinking about attending but haven't pulled the trigger yet, let Stephanie's experience encourage you to take that step.

ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THERE

Stephanie shared this wisdom after attending the National Bleeding Disorder Foundation Conference with her daughters, and it captures something we talk about on this podcast all the time.

When you're dealing with a bleeding disorder, whether it's you or your child, it's easy to feel isolated. Less than 1% of the population understands what you're going through on a daily basis.

But here's what Stephanie discovered at the conference: You're not alone. There's a whole community of people who get it, who've been through it, and who want to support you.

The connections she and her daughters made weren't just nice moments at a conference. They became real friendships. People who understand the challenges, celebrate the victories, and are there for each other.

And that last part about mental health? That's crucial. This journey isn't just about managing bleeds and treatments, it's about taking care of your whole self and your family's wellbeing.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we are taking a moment to appreciate the entire bleeding disorders community. Families, patients, care teams, and partners who walk the same path as HOC help make this work possible. Every event, conversation, and shared effort strengthens the support we provide together. We are truly grateful for you. 🍁
