    I don’t know who the older guy was who was doing this interview but he was/is such a lovely, kind, gentle listener.
    He is/was just the type of person who I would feel very comfortable confiding in.
    Thank you for modelling such a beautiful personality.

    This is beautiful....I lost so many dear friends in the mid80s- mid 90s ( Theatre major) it was terrifying and sad beyond belief- bless these educators with heart

    Wow. Awe inspiring hearing from people diagnosed so early in the epidemic. I can't imagine the mental torment. I would've lived every moment in terror. Long-term survivors should be studied to understand how they fended off the virus for so long.

      Your an idiot. You actually think they never thought about studying people who don't get sick

      They have studied them already. The have mutations on the cells in proteins that the virus uses to enter the cells.

    How they are so at ease with one another, just so moving x in awe of those who are campaigning tirelessly to educate, fight and continually break barriers of Stigma... I salute you x to all who have died x my heart goes out to you x

    I know someone who has been diagnosed with HIV and everytime they go to the hospital for a check up they are told all levels are good and no medication is needed. This has been nearly 2 years now and he is starting to believe that he has been misdiagnosed, is that possible? I hope so but I don't want to get his hopes up.

    So great jonathan is there to connect with younger guys, remember we are in the age of u=u and prep. Stigma doesn't belong in this day and age, but we have so many tools

    I can't help wondering if the older man looks at the younger man and thinks after 30 years people are still not getting the message of safe sex and always using a condoms. If condoms break you can get a pill from the sexual health clinic that could help reduce transmission. So really it's not much excuse. I'm not a saint and I've had one night stands, but I tell myself I'm an idiot for doing that. I get tested every time and thankfully I'm negative.

    The older man was diagnosed in 1982? How is it possible that he didn't die? Freddie mercury, Rock Hudson, and thousands of men died, yet this man survived, there was not effective treatment, I'm confused.

      Some people's immune systems are able to maintain suppressed viral loads for many years even without medication. These people are labeled elite controllers.
