EP 60: HIV = Life Over

Published: Jan. 30, 2022, 10 a.m.

We're joined by Calvin, who was diagnosed with HIV, as he shares his journey with us. 

\n

From how he dealt with first hearing the news and breaking it to his loved ones to guiding us through the testing process and medical costs, he goes through it all in this episode. 

\n

Most importantly, if you are diagnosed with HIV, it does not mean that your life is over. There are medications that you can take to help make the HIV virus undetectable, and hence untransmittable.
