a day with HIV

#adaywithhiv A day before my birthday... I am checking to see how many Likes my Red Ribbon photograph has gotten on IG. It's 2:15 pm, and I take my #HIV medication. I do this daily...to keep myself #Undetectable... If only I checked my social media accounts once per day. I'm still working on that... With #photography, it's all about exposure [getting your work seen]. Speaking of #exposureIf you are HIV negative and engaged in activities [no judgements] that put you at risk of being exposed to the virus, then I suggest you talk to your doctor about getting you on #PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) can greatly reduce your chances of contracting HIV through sex or injection drug use. Make sure to take it as prescribed. If you feel that you have been exposed to HIV within the last 72 hours... again, the last 72 hours... then get yourself to an emergency department and ask for #PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). You will take medicine(s) for 28 days to prevent HIV disease after being exposed. If you are HIV positive, take your meds, keep your head up, chase your dreams. Basically, just keep on living. I'll be 51 years old tomorrow, and I received my diagnosis in 2002. My life changed, but it didn't end. Take it one day at a time.

What is in a day with HIV?

#adaywithhiv looks different for everyone. For some it can mean stressing over medication. It can be an internal abyss of fear of disclosure. It can be trying to find housing. It can be trying to find a job. It can be internalizing all of the external stigma and micro aggressions we experience but don’t speak up on cuz we’re not out. For some it can be just trying to find a reason to smile. We all take our journey day by day and sometimes that’s all we can handle.

We must build day upon day learning to sit with yourself and drown out all of the other forces at play and realize your greatness. Your presence, your voice, your experience, your force, your resiliency, your courage, your strength, your vulnerability and your bravery to just live, make you POSITIVELY POWERFUL.

Whether you’re HIV-positive or HIV-negative, we’re all affected by HIV. HIV stigma can discourage people from getting tested for HIV, just as it can make others fear disclosing their status to friends and loved ones. Take your best shot against HIV and stigma. Seize the day—make Saturday, Sept. 21st A Day with HIV. Use your smartphone or digital camera to take a snapshot to capture a moment of your day, and then send it along with a caption to photo@adaywithhiv.com.

Today is picture day! What does #adaywithHIV look like to you?
