For that ignorant woman who is positive according to her, who is not updated on stigmatizing language and wrote to Li about me…

Undetectable! All organs and blood panel are perfect! So yeah! It was temporary insanity and stress that I brought on myself and external situations that are eating them! The medicine works but it is up to me to control my stress and rage for so many problems we have in the USA government, in the world, and real life everyday problems! I'm in a plane headed toward my beautiful land and country: MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA! I plan to nurture myself, rest, and spend time with my parents! I am so happy to see a plane full of Americans and Europeans headed to my beautiful land that was ravaged by 40 plus...

Quiero que todos vean la falta de educación que hay en todas partes! Por eso es importante mostrar nuestras caras y salir de la oscuridad! Esta es una condición humana que es 100% prevenible y como he explicado en el video, si una persona que vive con el #VIH, toma sus medicamentos y se vuelve indetectable y permanece indetectable por más de 6 meses NO PODEMOS TRANSMITIR EL VIRUS DEL VIH! El hecho de que nuestros círculos de activistas y aliados conozcan sobre el VIH no significa que la gente sepa sobre esta condición que tiene tanto estigma! Necesitamos ser visibles y necesitamos llegar a los...

I want you all to see the lack of education that is out there! This is why it is important to show our faces and come out of the dark! This is a human condition that is 100% preventable and as I explained in the video, if a person living with #HIV takes their medications and become undetectable and stay undetectable for more than 6 months, WE CAN'T TRANSMIT THE HIV VIRUS. Just because our activist circles and allies know about HIV does not mean that people know about this condition that has so much stigma! We need to be visible and we need to reach main stream media. Love and light....

Well, where do I start? I have been going through a rollercoaster for some years now. Every time that it seems I am on the road to healing and stability something happens!

What a whirlwind these past months have been!! I want to start by thanking The Well Project for helping me attend so many of these very important events, conferences and summits!

Saben por años y años le he preguntado a mis médicos la misma pregunta? Por qué, si soy indetectable por 17 años ya y todos estos años, mis cd4s nunca se aumentan a niveles buenos? Hago todo lo humanamente posible para subirlos! Soy adherente, no uso drogas, vivo Una Vida extremamente Sana!! Y no responden!! Nunca me dieron una razón! Y yo como loca buscando esos cd4s que deseo tanto... Al mismo tiempo veo que algunos no se toman su medicina bien, usan droga, viven Una Vida no muy saludable! Algunos tienen 1000 cd4s! Ya tengo mi respuesta gracias a mi querido Hermano Nelson Vergel. Este es el...

You know, for years and years I have asked doctors the same question??? Why, if I have been undetectable for 17 years and do everything humanly possible to raise my T-cells by being SUPER adherent and juicing, not doing drugs and just living a healthy lifestyle… they just don't respond!!! They never gave me an answer and I was always chasing the cd4 cells that I want so badly as I see some not take their meds, not being adherent and even doing drugs!! Some have 1000 T-cells?! Now I have my answer thanks to my brother Nelson Vergel. This is why: "Terms used to describe this subset of...

I urge everyone to move your bodies, work out! This has made me stronger! It takes my anxiety away! My Depression has not resurfaced since I started on May 26th! I urge everyone to find their own way of moving your body and sweating! This is the best medicine for me. I am stronger, with less stress and anxiety and feel that I have more endurance and I am healthier!! I started slowly and now I am working out 4 times a week doing cardio and weights. Love and light

Una muy Real Conversación con mi Madre y mi tía sobre el VIH y como ellas tomaron la noticia en aquellos tiempos el Estigma y lo que era mi sentencia de muerte en esa época.
