Adam highlighted the misconception surrounding HIV, explaining that with proper medication, individuals can lead normal lives without transmitting the virus. His honesty has garnered praise from viewers and advocates, stressing the necessity of empathy and supportive language in discussions about HIV.
Four years ago, I was diagnosed with HIV. When I was diagnosed, it nearly killed me off. My whole body shut down until it regenerated when I was on the pills.
It has made me incredibly empathetic to people, it's made me really aware of what people feel.
It's important to show that people can be successful, live healthy lives and have relationships as much as people without HIV.
Taking one pill a day means you can't pass HIV on, and Undetectable equals Untransmittable. I'm in a good place now.
