The Cure Chronicles: HIV with Raif Derrazi

The next episode of The Cure Chronicles features Raif Derrazi, an HIV/AIDS advocate, vlogger, fitness model, and natural physique bodybuilder.
In 2012, Raif was diagnosed with HIV. A week later, on his birthday, he was diagnosed with AIDS. Following his diagnoses, Raif refused to let the virus control his life. He built his strength and physical fitness through bodybuilding and started sharing his experiences online in hopes of inspiring others to become their best selves, no matter the circumstances.
Today, Raif is a host on +Life Media, a multi-platform brand dedicated to bringing conversations about HIV back into the mainstream and ending HIV stigma. He has partnered with organizations like the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and NMAC in an effort to change how people view living with HIV, and is set to be an ambassador representing the US at the Gay Games in Hong Kong next year.

About The Cure Chronicles:
There are more than 37 million people in the world currently living with HIV/AIDS. At Addimmune, we believe there is hope for a cure. But it will take everyone working together to make it a reality and permanently end the suffering of millions of people living with HIV today.
Addimmune is testing a single-infusion cell therapy (AGT103-T) to hopefully cure people living with HIV, which would mean no more lifelong antiretroviral therapy, no fear of AIDS, and no possibility of spreading HIV. Meanwhile, we want to spotlight some of the many people in the HIV community who strive to keep hope alive and tip the odds toward success.
The Cure Chronicles video series features thoughtful conversations with people living with HIV, advocates, medical experts, policymakers, and others working hard toward the shared goal of ending the devastating HIV epidemic.
