Love has a curious way of defying our expectations and leading us down uncharted paths. My journey with Maximo is a testament to this unpredictability, a story of love, acceptance, and personal growth that challenged my beliefs and ultimately enriched my life.

I've told my story a ton of times about what led to me contracting HIV. I was always cautious as to not say certain things that could point to the person I contracted from or even more tell a story that wasn't mine to tell

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.

I recently had a deep dive regarding U=U with a writer from POZ Magazine and what it means to me as a Latina living with HIV.

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.

Sigue luchando, paso a pasito. ¿No puedes hacerlo tú sola? Busca ayuda...

Keep fighting. Take it one step at a time. Can't do it by yourself? Seek help.

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

It is September 25th, 2023. This day marks my 11th year of knowing that I'm living with HIV.

At one point I really thought I wanted a road map for this life with HIV. Like, really, really wanted a road map. I wanted more than just "you're not going to die."
