HIV lifetime survivor

In this profound journey through the shadows, I've witnessed the evolution of our complex relationship with HIV and our quest for healing – my mother's and mine.

My decision to openly share my HIV status at the age of 23 was not about seeking attention but about filling a critical gap in the conversation.

Managing HIV as children and into adulthood is an experience and a bond that is difficult to describe.

August 1st will be my 25th anniversary of positively living with HIV! It hasn't always been a positive experience but I can now say I am very happy with my positive status.
