If you’ve seen my videos and other HIV positive talking up about HIV and the stigma, you may have wondered how we—I got here. It started with this: I remember long before I gained the confidence to make content about being HIV positive, I had the burning desire to do it. The problem was… I was incredibly full of shame, shy, fearful and anxious. And not to mention the dreaded fear of being seen. I still struggle with that but I feel the fear and do it anyway. But despite all this, I knew I needed to do it. It started with a desire to see more representation, it was also fuelled with anger at the stigma. The desire grew bigger than my fears and worries, that’s when made my first video about it. Then my second, third and here we are. My point is that if you focus on the desire, everything else will fall into place.
