In one of our most powerful and emotional episodes, Justin is joined by Terrance Adams and Denford Galloway. They were diagnosed at different stages as it relates to the progression of treatment options; they contracted the virus under different circumstances and; they had different experiences around reception and acceptance. But they are both battling stigma around their HIV status, learning self-acceptance and self-love, and navigating family dynamics. Fear of being stigmatized leads to people shying away from knowing their status. It also fuels a fear of being isolated and ostracized as it relates to both their sexuality and their diagnosis.
