#WorldAIDSDay https://t.co/f8CiXGGWwHThe greatest challenge is the STIGMA, not the diseaseI currently take one tablet daily – the only reminder that I’m living with HIV. It keeps my viral load undetectable, meaning that I can’t pass HIV on. I can expect a normal lifespan. The greatest challenge is stigma, due to a lack of knowledge. #HIVHasChanged #WorldAIDSDayWe hope world leaders take noticeOn #WorldAIDSDay, we hold those who have passed in our memories and celebrate those who live vibrant lives with HIV. Still, we cannot turn away from the millions who suffer from lack of access to treatment and from continued stigma. 40 years of this epidemic is enough.HIV+ people have emotions tooYou can get HIV in your first sex. You can be born with HIV.
Being HIV+ doesn’t mean you’re having sex with everybody.
HIV+ people have emotions too.
Sending so much love to HIV+ people.
I’m so sorry you still have to deal with ignorant, unknowledgeable people.
