Then he told me he just got it, then his daughter told me he had it for 15 years and he had another BF and didn't told him either

The fact that there are people knowingly spreading HIV to their partners makes me want to physically throw up. And you know there are people doing it to keep their spouses from leaving cah the stigma would be too much for them to even seek out another relationship. It’s wicked uno. The thing is, sometimes showing you’re clean before marriage ain’t even enough, some people contract these things thru cheating (after) and end up giving it to their partners.

In his latest video, Gabe breaks down four ways the Trump administration wants to undermine LGBTQ health — and why we need to fight back.

WORD AIDS DAY, 2011

Ron was my very first boyfriend. He was already HIV+ (I was, and am, still HIV-) when we were dating. He was a journalist and gave me a lot of aspiration on who and what I wanted to do as an adult. He passed away about two years after we had stopped dating.

Laith became HIV+ about eight months after we broke up, and though we never reconnected wholly as friends, I was grateful that we at least got to work along side each other some years later, and were able to put some closure on that relationship. He passed away about a year after we reconnected.

Both of these men gave me a lot of formative ideas and hopes in my earlier days. I still carry much of those ideas within me as a result of knowing them back then. And, like so many people who knew them, I wish they were still here.

For Ron. For Laith. I fell in love with you then, and I still love you now. You both will always be a part of my heart. Always.
