A positive life
Persons living with HIV or PLHIV, for short, that’s what they call us, or what we call ourselves. It’s our way of changing the conversation, really. Not HIV or AIDS victims. We aren’t victims. We weren’t “attacked” by the virus. For a lot of us, we didn’t even know we were getting infected; consequently, for a lot of us, our partners didn’t even know they were infected and passing it on to the person they were sleeping with without protection.
