A Letter to HIV on the 16th Anniversary of My Diagnosis

I know that thanks to you I had to take a very good look at myself, and the world. I had to look straight in the eyes of death and illness. Thanks to you I stopped taking my life for granted. I had to ask difficult questions to myself. Recognise my fragilities, and my responsibilities. What was most painful: I had to question the possibility of love and intimacy.

The Price of Ignoring the Sexuality of Kenya's HIV Positive Youth

“The problem is in the transition into adolescence and teenage years. You are dealing with young people who are at an age where they don’t communicate well.

HIV non-disclosure and criminal law: Implications of recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions for people living with HIV

On October 5, 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada released its decisions in the cases of Mabior and D.C. The Court decided that people living with HIV have a legal duty, under the criminal law, to disclose their HIV-positive status to sexual partners before having sex that poses a "realistic possibility" of HIV transmission. Not disclosing in such circumstances means a person could be convicted of aggravated sexual assault. This document explains what the Court’s decisions mean for people living with HIV, although many questions remain.
