My name is Angel Stetson. I am living in Sarasota, Fl. with my boyfriend of over four years. I am living with HIV and he is not. I joined The Well Project last year to learn more about how I could help other women and girls to avoid the stigma and terror I experienced from the world around me. My biggest hurts unfortunately came from family. They did not understand and I did not want to talk about being diagnosed positive for HIV. Today I realize the importance of language; as some terms can just turn me into a blubbering mess.

Thank you Angel from Greece.
I have never been in a relationship with a positive man. I guess I didnt think how truly lucky I am to be loved completly and accepted until I realized He loved me and HIV is a part of who I am .
HIV is not who I am its just a small part of me. Being in a serodiscordinant relationship not worrying about what he thinks, having chats on topics that may concern us. We are learning together about rising above stigma.
