HIV Hasn't Stopped Me Finding Love | LOVE DON'T JUDGE

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
DATING is tricky at the best of times - but even harder when you have a disease with as much stigma surrounding it as HIV. Las Vegas-based Lexi Gibson, 30, was born with HIV but wasn’t diagnosed until she was two and her mother passed away from the condition when Lexi was four. Lexi was told by doctors that she wouldn’t live beyond the age of 13 and was bullied badly throughout her school years. Huge improvements in medication mean nowadays Lexi only has to take one pill daily which leaves the virus at completely undetectable levels in her system, but the stigma about HIV remains - making dating a challenge. Past partners have feared catching the illness or tried to keep her HIV status a secret, with one potential suitor fleeing mid-date after finding out about Lexi’s diagnosis. However, Lexi is now a life coach, passionate HIV advocate and founder of the non-profit StopHate Educate - and found love with musician Jade, 26. Jade says she felt worried about Lexi’s health when she was first told, but now understands that Lexi’s zero 'viral load’ means there’s no possibility of Lexi passing on HIV.

[@trapbois4573]

Dating is hard cause when there are so many people, a lot of people want someone better. It's a viscous cycle that can only be broken with an open minded personality, common sense, a willingness to give someone a chance and keeping realistic standards. Anyone can find a partner this way.

I’m confused on why they are attacking her when she was born with it, and then she’s is letting people know ASAP! Hell she’s being more responsible than half the people walking around in this world smh.

[@Stardust_7273]

I agree she shouldn’t be attacked but it’s not only cuz she was born with it. No one with this illness should be judged. Just because someone contracts it doesn’t mean they’re irresponsible.

[@vanessamuhammad8709]

@@Stardust_7273 well yea nobody should be judged period but I was just interested in the mindset of people calling her names etc. plus unlike some people she is being very responsible and looking out for others

[@Stardust_7273]

@Hannah Myers Exactly. I have known plenty of people who have had STI’s. They would mention it to me cuz I used to be in the medical field. The only difference is some are unfortunately incurable, so those who have had curable infections get treated and go on with life, so most ppl don’t know they had them. Then there are less fortunate folks who get HIV, herpes, etc. I would never judge, things happen, and everyone deserves proper medical care and deserve to live without judgment.

@Ephaistos Vanguard Actually you would, you’ve likely met a psychopath & don’t even know it. Do you even know what a psychopath is? It’s someone with antisocial personality disorder. They’re charismatic, charming, smooth talking, kind - they’re also pathological liars who have no remorse for who they hurt in their quest to get to where they need or want to be in life. Comments like yours are uneducated & slightly ignorant. You wouldn’t know this lovely girl has HIV, just like you wouldn’t know you’ve met someone with APD. What you’re actually insinuating is you wouldn’t treat someone the same who outwardly struggles with mental health problems, which is a whole host of messed up. (And if you’re going to go down the route of ‘i was referring to serial killers / rapists etc’ - how would you know you’ve met one of them?! If you’re psychic you wouldn’t go near them in the first place).

This was so enjoyable to watch. Spread awareness and knowledge. It doesnt mean your life is over. Everyone deserves to be happy and be loved.

[@epresley8324]

I’m so sorry she had to go through all that! I’m so glad she found someone who loves her for her! She deserves it! She seems like such a nice person!

[@robinwagner3293]

She had a rough time it sounds like. Nice to know she found happiness and the love she deserves.

[@ThrivingNotDying]

They are so cute together! I wish them many years of happiness 😊

Hey....

[@elliec7677]

It’s so easy to get tested and so easy to protect yourself from contracting it in the first place! I can’t imagine being a parent and passing it onto a child. I can’t imagine how awful that must have been for her mom 😢 so sad that her mom lost her fight with aids too. That’s another thing that people don’t know, hiv doesn’t always mean you’re going to die from aids. The virus can live for so long without it ever developing into aids.

Hello there how are you doing? It’s a pleasure to meet you here I’m David and you’re?

Inspite of all the bullying and pain you went through, you are so amazing, girlie. Stay blessed...from India

There are meds that prevent spreading. This young woman was given this at birth. Bless them and jade for loving her beyond her situation.

I think she is just trying to live her life and she shouldn’t be judged for a disease that she has.

Im so glad she managed to find love, is a big shame everything she had to go through, definitely wish her all the best in life

I really loved their story!! My sister was born with hiv/aids. Back in December she passed away.

Happy she found love. Truly everyone deserves to be loved as they are

This is why Princess Diana was so loved, because she raised *so* much awareness for Aids & HIV when she was alive (both in westernised countries & beyond). No one carried it on once she passed away, sadly. People were absolutely petrified of anyone who had an AIDS / HIV diagnosis back in the 80’s + - it held this huge stigma, just like this lovely young woman is explaining. You couldn’t share cutlery or cups / mugs with them, hold hands, water fountains, they were excluded from friendship groups & families. It was awful. She is right, they didn’t have the medication back then that they do now (sending so much love to her for the loss of her mother 💗), but I love that people like this young woman are spreading AND raising awareness of the condition. Beautiful couple, & I wish you both every bit of happiness for your futures 🥰💗 xx

[@hyperiondragon]

It's really that easy? "You're cute tho." Then boom a friendship then relationship. They're cute together.

This must be what true love looks like

[@kat.699]

Adorable couple 😍 I'm so sorry Lexi had to deal with so much hate especially as an innocent child who had no control over her diagnosis. People are beyond rude but luckily, most people I think have the maturity and empathy not to pass judgment.

[@lasantuzza777]

i remember watching lexi on mtv true life and she always stayed in my thoughts! she’s extremely beautiful not just outside but her energy. i’m good at reading people and i can honestly say she has some of the purest loving energy i’ve seen in a person. i do remember a while ago hearing about the passing of her ex (who was featured in the episode as well) and i felt heartbroken for her. i’m glad to see she’s doing well these days!

It's not easy for someone who has HIV to say that they are carrying it that's why it's so important to be kind about this it's more important we do so that way more people can be more open and not spread HIV around to others

Why are people so hateful? This brave, sweet girl deserves love as much as anyone else.
