Diagnosed with HIV at age 11 means that most of my days have been days with HIV. At 49, I’m thankful for the advancements in the treatment of HIV that gave me the opportunity to far outlive my initial prognosis in 1987. I wear my AIDS Memorial t-shirt as a reminder to stay connected with my spirit; to let the bright lights of those we have lost—and their loved ones—know that they will be forever remembered.
