After my AIDS diagnosis, my focus in life has been redirected to my physical/emotional/intellectual health! I've since become a Pro Natural Physique Bodybuilder. I advocate for the HIV community: increasing awareness and education while decreasing stigma. And I share my journey of just becoming a better human in hope of inspiring and motivating those around me.
Recently I did a podcast with Jennifer Cohen on Habits & Hustle which was feateured by Entreprenuer I've been a part of two separate videos for the socially conscious YouTube channel: Jubilee I won 3rd Place at the first Natural Bodybuilding competition in Muscle Beach held by INBA/PNBA I spoke at and covered the United States Conference on AIDS in D.C. this past August 2019

The day of my Hair Transplant at @haircenterofturkey I sat down to discuss what I could expect that day and further into my healing process. Sinan emphasized the work they've done to ensure a welcoming environment for people living with #HIV as well as those with other chronic conditions. Watch the full consultation on my YouTube! #HIVundetectable #HIVadvocate #HIVawareness #hairtransplant #UequalsU
THIS is how WE take our ARVs. United at the @aids_conference 2024. Try telling US that #HIV will hold us back 😉 @yes_i_have_hiv @tt.kimberly @bakang_garebatho paulsimplelinux @iasociety @aids_conference #hivadvocate #putpeoplefirst #uequalsu
Incredibly remarkable and humbling interview w/ 3 of the #HIV Cured men in 1 room! They had some truly insightful things to say, and I got to ask them questions they don’t often answer (they have a WhatsApp group for just the 3 of them called ‘The 3 Musketeers’😂❤️) Once the interview is edited and live on my YouTube, I’ll let you know! Thx to @iasociety for giving me the Media access and support to create interviews like this (and MANY others) here at @aids_conference Thx to The City of Hope Patient (@paulandersonedmonds), The Düsseldorf Patient (Marc Franke), & The London Patient (@adamlondonpatientofficial) #hivadvocate #putpeoplefirst #uequalsu #hivcure
I’ve been so busy at @aids_conference 2024 in Munich I’ve forgotten to take my ARVs the past 2 days! 😱 Fortunately, I know viral rebound doesn’t happen right away and I’m still Undetectable! Or who knows, maybe I’m a post-treatment controller & don’t know it yet 😂 This is the human side of being on treatment #HIV #putpeoplefirst @iasociety @pluslifemedia @hope_collaboratory #uequalsu
Grateful for the one-pill-a-day that affords me the opportunity to live life to its fullest 🙏🏽 @iasociety @aids_conference #hiv #hivpositive #hivundetectable #uequalsu

You heard the rallying cry to get an #HIV test last week, but did you do it? What's holding you back? Cost? Convenience? Fear of being SEEN?! 👀 @tmhtesting is the solution to all these! And I even threw in some options for PrEP & DoxyPEP at @heymistr as a bonus 😍 Take back control of YOUR sexual health! #HIV #HIVtesting #UequalsU

@mark.s.king and I met at @nmachiv conference USCHA in 2019! He welcomed me into the world of #HIV advocacy with love and respect ❤️ He’s been trailblazing HIV advocacy well-before I was diagnosed. In fact, his HIV antibodies have been around longer than I’ve been alive! 😂 His charm, wit, and dark sense of humor bring a one-of-kind perspective to our advocacy. Thanks to @queerty I had the opportunity to interview him for their publication. 🙏🏽 Head to their website to read the interview. And while you’re at it, get TESTED! 😉 #queerty #nationalhivtestingday #hivadvocate #uequalsu #hivpositive #plhiv
Pain today vs pain tomorrow. Some things i talk about related to #HIV may be scary, but it’s all with the intent of empowering you to take control of your life and your health. #hivadvocate #hivpositive #hivundetectable #hivaids #hivawareness #hivsymptoms #selfempowerment #qualityoflife
