Beautiful work by beautiful people. May many people, both HIV-negative and HIV-psoitive, find their way to this and find the sustenance they need to carry on.
Great video!!! It would be so great to be able to be that out. I feel these people live in larger cities, where being out about your status isn’t a problem. The stigma is so much greater when you live in a smaller city. Interstingly, the people in the medical community seem to be much worse. I’ve actually been dropped by physicians when I disclosed, which I thought was the responsible thing to do. I’ve decided not disclosing is the better option all around. This video gives me hope. It’s refreshing to see people being able to disclose. Thank you!!
Actually, only two of them live in a very large city, Charlotte, NC, and the rest of them live in mid-size or small cities and in a very conservative state where HIV is really taboo and not discussed! That’s what makes their openness even more amazing. I love each and every one of them and I’m glad you found hope in viewing it! Thank you!!!
I have worked and known a few people in this video. I am so encouraged by all of them. I wish this video was out when I was first diagnosed, I may have forgiven myself a long time, not told that Auntie who is like channel nine news, and not felt so bad about being human. I did not think you could be positive about being HIV+. I have a long road to recovery but I have decided to start the journey. I salute each of you with tears in my eyes for taking a chance you did not have to take and helping someone who was facing the brink of suicide just two minutes ago. To each of you- thanks.
Being newly diagnosed literally 4 weeks ago this was inspiring. Maybe I really can turn this negative into a positive, no pun intended. I will admit I’m scared shitless but I know that I am strong enough to do what I have to do to lead a long, healthy life. Even if I am doing this alone …
