Spring has sprung—and so have the harnesses, jocks & bunny ears!

This Easter, I’m celebrating living proudly w/ HIV & knowing U=U.
Sweeter than chocolate. Backed by science.

Fresh starts, chosen fam & mini eggs for all!

Tomorrow, I join a panel at Can You Do Lunch? to talk about aging well with HIV. As a CANFAR National Ambassador, I believe it means transforming stigma into strength and gratitude into legacy.

Still snow on the ground, but I’m spring cleaning anyway—starting with HIV stigma.

Outdated myths don’t belong in 2025. Time to make room for truth.

I was 48 when I was diagnosed with HIV. 10 years later, I’m still pushing back on the idea that age makes us immune.

Too old for HIV? Think again.

Heading to IAS 2025 in Kigali, I couldn’t ignore what’s missing.

There’s no mention of U=U in the programme. One of our most powerful tools left in silence.

Read my blog on why that matters.

I created the I Can Give U campaign to reclaim the narrative around HIV.
It’s global. It’s rooted in U=U. And it’s about what people living with HIV CAN give.

I vote not because the system is perfect—but because I’ve felt what it’s like to be left out of it.
From HIV stigma to healthcare access to queer rights—this is personal.
Vote like someone you love is impacted. Because they are.

This weekend, the world pauses to remember those lost to HIV-related illness—and to carry forward their legacy with love and leadership.

My new blog reflects on the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial and the power of collective memory.

U=U is not privileged knowledge. It is a right.

It changes lives, reduces stigma, and brings freedom, when people are given the chance to hear it.

Why are we still saying “effectively no risk” in 2025 when the science is clear? If someone is undetectable, they cannot transmit HIV. Zero risk. Period.
