[@justinamusyoka4986]

Stigma is bad,i've lived with Hiv for many years and got used to negativity from haters.Thank you for sharing.

[@carlocelis1334]

Thank you for making this world a little safer, more educated and relatable.

[@roypetitfils]

[@lennoxkayson1018]

[@lennoxkayson1018]

@Sean Brendan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@angersausten]

Thank you for educating us, Arik.

[@crissyd3836]

🖐🖐🖐 it's sad that there is still so much fear when it comes to this disease. Thank you for sharing your story 💗 I think education has fallen through cracks and even though it's no longer a death sentence so many people still contract it. We need to talk to our kids and teach them!

[@elizabethchungu9880]

The sigma with HIV is rather one sided, as most people assume that if you have HIV you are being promiscuous or unsafe, whilst that can be a cause of HIV some people were born with HIV, and just like anyone with a disease they didn't ask to have it yet the stigma still follows them. as humans we forget that just because you don't have a disease doesn't give you a right to act like people who do are beneath you for you are human too. what happened to them can easily happen to you. have empathy they didn't ask for this. I applaud his openness its about time we start fighting the stigma.

What a wonderful speaker. Extremely inspirational. Lots of hugs.

[@rsc4956]

Wonderful talk! it is my prayer that through education about HIV that proper funding could be placed for helping everyone afford the medication so that no one will ever have to suffer because of a very treatable disease.

[@0720TALove]

thank you for providing me with many references and rewards for transparency when coping with discussing HIV. I experienced a shift after watching this....

[@emielwuijsterrotterdam3085]

Thank you so much for this Arik. It really helps me too.

[@DrSafeHands]

Arik, you are awesome. This video will give hope and inspire thousands of people recently diagnosed with HIV. With PrEP being very safe to use, no one should even get HIV now.

[@r.t.c.2550]

you are not rejected solely because you are hiv positive, so just cope with it.

[@loretorojo4149]

I was browsing and checking videos I can say I was interested to know more about HIV aids because I want to be aware and I want to help my brother who is suffering right now🥺😢

[@ppmireless]

Ugh humans... i have ppl i love dearly and worked with ppl that are positive and the damn ignorance that still exists is mind blowing! Some of them I’m like it’s a blessing you’re “negative” (if you even know for sure) with your ignorance.

[@whoeverwonders9892]

How much does it cost for the medication...

[@whoeverwonders9892]

wow, that is very expensive!! Will insurance cover for it? And will insurance raise your premium to a very high level the second year?

[@RoryChalcraft]

Very good questions. Thank you for asking. I don't know where you live, but where I am my county department of health provided me with a case manager who helped me through all the paperwork to receive medical assistance. As a result, I only pay $1 for my medication. That's $1 every three months for me. So, yes, insurance combined with medical assistance will lower the cost to you.

[@whoeverwonders9892]

Thanks for your answer, that is very informative!
