TRANSCRIPT:
Hey girls, gays, and theys stop right there. I got some good information for you. Watch this video.
Summer's fun. I want to start with that…
We expect you to have a great time,
like, whether that's through Pride festivals,
or, all of the other events
that really celebrate the LGBTQAI+ community.
So, let's start from there.
Number one: Know before you go.
Stay up to date with sexually transmitted infection testing.
Make sure you get your butt swabbed and throat swabbed.
If you're using a part of your body for sex,
you should get that screened for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Number two: Get the mpox vaccine.
If you haven't gotten your mpox vaccine,
make sure you run and get it.
If we get on top of it,
we are going to not only protect our health,
we're also gonna protect our summer fun.
Number three: Consider PrEP.
If you are someone who could potentially benefit from
pre-exposure prophylaxis, consider starting it,
or if you're on PrEP, make sure that you have enough
medications, so you're good to go for that season.
If you don't want to commit to taking a pill every day
or taking an injection every couple of months,
… there is another option. It's called episodic PrEP or 211 PrEP
and that's PrEP on demand,
Number four: Be prepared. Naloxone.
And, lastly, sometimes when we go to parties for Pride
and other events, there are people who may be using drugs.
And, it's really important to know how to arm yourself
to prevent overdose, including, potentially using naloxone.
There's a lot of information about that, but really
be prepared to go, be prepared to have fun,
and also go in there with all the tools that
you need to stay happy and healthy.
There are more options than ever to prevent and treat HIV. It begins with a test.

Cuando agarró mi diagnosis de VIH, no sabía nada de, de treatment o de… cosas que ayudan a pagar el medicación.
No sabía que hay ayuda para agarrar tu medicación.
Para ser indetectable, necesitas tomar todos los días tu medicación.
VIH indetectable es que el VIH está muy low en tu sangre y no pueden a pasarlo a nadie.

Tenía a que hacer mucha educación con mis padres porque no sabían nada.

Y so, yo tenía aprender a ellos que no puedes sacar el VIH con eso.

El doctor decidió hacerme una prueba de VIH la cual resultó positiva.
Una trabajadora social y quien me dio más conocimiento ya que yo no tenía seguro médico, me refirió el Programa de Ryan White para poder obtener el medicamento.
Me tomo mis pastillas a diario y que eso quiere decir que el virus no está haciendo daño a mi cuerpo.
El virus aún vive en mi cuerpo.

Tenía 22 años cuando fui diagnosticado con VIH.
Aprendimos todos como familia en las visitas al doctor, a través de la trabajadora social quien nos proporcionó mucha información sobre lo que es el VIH y lo que no es el VIH.
Ellos aprendieron que no podían obtener el virus a través de usar la misma cuchara de la cual yo comía o tomar del mismo vaso del que yo bebía.
Vivir con VIH no es el fin del mundo. Tuve el apoyo de mi familia.

Antiretrovirals (ARVs) are the medications that keep people living with HIV healthy.
ARVs work to lower the amount of virus to very low often undetectable levels. Less than 200 copies/ml.
When the virus is undetectable HIV is not transmitted sexually!

I didn't have insurance at the time I was diagnosed with HIV.
The social worker talked to me about the Ryan White [HIV] program.
She was pretty quick about getting all the paperwork done so that I could start my medication as soon as possible.
She also advised me on keeping up with the doctor's appointments, with the medical labs.
I still keep in touch with her. She's one of the reasons why I am here.

PrEP is something that is taken on a day-to-day basis to prevent HIV.
So, similiar to birth control you just take a pill a day and it reduces your chances of becoming HIV positive.
Where as nPEP is something that you would take if you believe you have had a recent, possible exposure.
It [nPEP] is something that is an in-case-of-emergency type of situation.
So, you've got 72 hours [after exposure] to be able to take that pill [nPEP] for it to effectively work.

TRANSCRIPT:
I had not heard about HIV as much as I would have wanted to.
I knew that there was some type of treatment but I didn't know how it worked.
I am not cured. HIV is still in my body but with medication taken daily, I can reduce it to a very low amount.
Undetectable means that the virus is no longer harming my immune system and it also means that I can't transmit it anyone else.

Receiving an HIV diagnosis is overwhelming within itself.
The Ryan White Care Act and the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, ADAP, are programs available to folks that have trouble accessing [HIV] treatment options.
They can help you get back on to treatment.
They can help you with those social programs like housing, like mental health services and even connecting you to like a support group[s] to be able to have other folks to lean on that are living with HIV.

HIV is something that you can live with.
And you don't have to feel ashamed or afraid.
Reaching an undetectable viral load kind of took the weight of living with HIV kind of off of me.
Now I sit my medications right on the edge of my vanity. Right next to my toothbrush to make sure that I take it in the morning.

I kind of hid away from my [HIV] diagnosis.
I actually started to get symptoms and feel really, really sick.
I didn't have insurance.
I didn't know how I was going to pay for it.
The doctor's visits, the medication, any of it.
ADAP stands for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
Basically, they [ADAP] help you get your [HIV] medication and you don't have to pay for anything.
Being able to have that access and that support, it [ADAP] helped me to get through that beginning process of being HIV positive.

Someone becomes HIV undetectable by taking medication every single day.
That means the virus in your blood is so low that the lab can’t detect it and you can’t transmit it [HIV] to your partner.
