IMO someone with HIV should always disclose their status to their partner, even if they’re “undetectable”. Use protection, get tested and have open communication. People forget there’s a ton of other serious STI’s you can catch. And if this dude’s diagnosis was a result of a cheating partner while in a supposedly monogamous relationship, then that guy who cheated is an awful POS perpetuating negative stereotypes of gay men.

[@MinnieMousey06]

really though, i don't think there's enough research done on what "undetectable" really means. like anything can happen where you're infectious again or what if the virus mutates so it's resistant to the meds?

[@emma6656]

@@MinnieMousey06 there has been a whole lot of studies done about undetectable and medication compliance. When you are undetectable, it means the medication has stopped the virus from making more copies, what is in your body dies off except for a small portion that goes into hybernation, kinda like some cancer cells you can never get rid of. If you are not taking your medication correctly fhen yes, the virus that is left can learn about that medication and become resistant, just like any bug with antibiotics. But studies have been done with couples where one partner is negative, over YEARS, the couples don't use condoms in this time, and all of the negative partners stayed negative... and by years in this study, i really mean years... it was like 10 years theh followed these couples and did the study. Also positive women naturally conceive with a negative partner and then give birth naturally to a negative child. The research has been done.

why❤️? that's all i'd ask lmao

[@boopboop7208]

yeasrwt asega Not a question, a statement: you’re so bothered with other people’s sexuality because you’re not progressive and God forbid someone live a different lifestyle than you! There’s no reason to be homophobic if you’re not nosey.

[@boopboop7208]

yeasrwt asega Theres no need to answer because I’m right.

[@boopboop7208]

yeasrwt asega Homophobia is an opinion. And a hateful one at that.

@yeasrwt asega homophobia is not an opnion, just ignorance tbh😗✌🏾

I really want to see someone who has psoriasis and how they deal with it, because 3 out of 10 people in the world have it but still no one knows about it.

[@sharonwilde1903]

At this point, I thought we pretty much had nearly a cure for HIV and AIDS. The fact we dont at this point is OBSURD

[@alexPsanz]

We do have “nearly a cure”. For many people the current antivirals make it so that you have an undetected level of HIV virus and you can live a completely normal life. The only thing better when be an actual cure that stops you from needing to take a medication.

OMG he is so handsome 🥺and kind hearted person ❤️ stay strong 💪

[@hoodpriestessphilosophy7669]

A lot of us can relate to waiting for that test result to come back. Truly agonizing. Those moments, minutes, hours, days, sometimes weeks, of wondering if our lives will be forever changed when it does. ❤

The fact that this kind of stigma still happening on first world country is alarming.

[@CancerQueenKy]

I love hearing him say he was originally diagnosed with AIDS but now he’s only HIV positive. AIDS used to be incurable and had SUCH a high mortality rate, and now it’s something that’s actually treatable and can go away with proper care. I’m glad he’s doing well and sharing his experience!!

[@ryneckert]

I want to be friends with him. So well spoken and has an incredible new outlook on life. He's an inspiration.

Thank you Jubilee, and thank you Raif for sharing your story. The questions were amazing, and Raif's answers were informative, educational, and honest. I loved this converstion! Let's continue to practice love, patience, understanding, kindness and acceptance for all.

[@RaifDerrazi]

Yay, glad you appreciated it! 🙏🏽

[@styleniko4339]

This was a great interview, people were asking him good questions and he was answering in very informative way possible. And yes, he is super good-looking!

[@samc749]

There’s a HUGE need for more education about HIV because there are so many people who don’t even know you even can be undetectable, live a normal long healthy life and not pass it to anyone. Why don’t we teach this in schools!!

[@RaifDerrazi]

I think there's a fear that if we tell people the truth, then they will be reckless....but i always believe that EDUCATION and self-empowerment is a much stronger force in the long run than instilling blanket fear

[@emma6656]

There is still also the stigma around who can be affected. Alot of the younger generations who were born during or after the pandemic of fhe 80's and 90's sometimes dont know that it can affect everyone. And studies have actually shown it has been on the rise in Heterosexual communitiea in first worls countries for quite a few years now. Purely because some still see it as a MSM issue. But world wide, it affects all sexualities evenly.

How is it even a thing that people are scared of people with aids. That's like treating a cancer patient differently. HOW are people so nasty and uneducated. This man is amazing and I'm so glad that he's using his experience to help others

[@emma6656]

Can i just point out that it is better to refer to a person with HIV as a person with HIV. Not AIDS. As they are 2 different things. HIV can lead to AIDS when untreated, and yes he stated he was actually diagnosed with AIDS. But not all people living with HIV have AIDS. Having the diagnosis of AIDS is all about the immune system and how damaged it is, and if other infections or diseases are present because of the lack of immune system. Now that he is taking medication and his immune system is effectively working again (not perfect, and not as good as it once was, but better than at diagnosis) he is someone living life with HIV.

[@alaskawashington]

wow this was actually so informative! i’ve never really done much research on the topic so i didn’t even know that “undetectable” was a thing!
