I'm constantly educating people. People that should know, don't. They grew up when the HIV epidemic started. So, I share my story because I want to help people. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HIV.
After I got my diagnosis, I automatically started to apply what I knew, to ask questions, to better understand. You might not believe it, but we're still so far behind in terms of information.
Automáticamente después de saber mi diagnosis empecé a usar mi conocimiento, a hacer preguntas, a informarme porque, aunque no lo creas, todavía estamos muy atrasados en cuestión de información.
Sentí que me llovían muchísimas cosas encima que eran tan difíciles que podían destruir a una persona. Pero lo superé.
I felt that at one point in my life, there were so many things that were getting tossed at me that were built to just destroy a person. But I got through it.
Discovering my HIV diagnosis was an unexpected turn that reshaped my life's trajectory.
Living with HIV, my biggest fear isn't the virus itself; it's the fear of losing control over my own narrative.
It doesn't matter how you became positive; what matters is how you live your positive life.
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.
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.
