I have HIV.
I take one pill, once a day.
Thanks to my treatment I will live just as long as any of my peers - and my medication stops me passing the virus on.
If you’re diagnosed with HIV know there’s love, support and a future for you.

Do not eat activated charcoal “food” if you’re HIV positive. ✋
The charcoal can absorb your medication and mean your HIV is not controlled. This also applies to other medications and conditions. If in doubt avoid any of these foods. 🤔
Plus, you know, it’s rank. Please share.
This latte is caffeine-free and made with charcoal, milk, and vanilla

This tweet is blowing up so here’s some more key facts.
HIV can affect anyone - regardless of gender, sexuality, age, religion etc.
Testing is free & simple - just a finger prick.
HIV+ on treatment can’t pass HIV on - to sexual partners or unborn children.
GET TESTED!

Whilst HIV *has* changed we mustn’t forget the sacrifices and experiences of those that came before us.
Long term HIV survivors often have PTSD, survival guilt, unresolved grief from seeing their social groups die.
Those who died early are a huge reason for modern HIV medicine.
