My medical condition really haunts me whenever I’m alone and has made me realize that people living with HIV who experience depression may face challenges that others may not fully understand. Fear of stigma and judgement can sometimes make reaching for support feel overwhelming.
I don't hide, and I don't wear a mask when I visit my hub.If we can talk about other health conditions without shame, why should HIV be any different? The more we talk about it, the more we replace fear and misinformation with understanding and empathy.
I've always believed that change starts within myself. I want to spread awareness, challenge stigma, and help normalize conversations about HIV by being open about my own journey.
