HIV Will Never Define Me

Submitted on Aug 18, 2026 by KatieAdsila

Undetectable equals Untransmittable
This is a fact that is not refutable
Living a life that is communicable
HIV will never define me

Take your meds every single day
The virus is dormant not gone away
Please stop and listen to what I say
HIV will never define me

I live my best life because I adhere
The meds are really nothing to fear
I just want to make myself clear
HIV will never define me

There is a shot and there is a pill
The choice is yours for you to fulfill
One day the virus we will kill
HIV will never define me

26 years I've lived with this disease
Every ounce of life I will always squeeze
I'll say it again and again if you please
HIV will never define me

I educate the world to keep the disease at bay
But education is lost in the politics of today
Yet more and more minds I continue to sway
HIV will never define me

So if you are living now with HIV
Don't be concerned about mortality
All you need is to learn the reality
HIV will never define you... or me
