It’s 2025, and we still don’t talk enough about the mental side of living with HIV. Beyond the facts and treatment, there’s the everyday reality that managing thoughts, emotions, and the impact of stigma.
In this episode, we sit down with our guest living with HIV to talk about what that mental journey looks like from dealing with people’s assumptions to finding ways to stay grounded and hopeful.
We explore how stigma affects mental health, why conversations like this matter, and what support can really look like when we lead with empathy instead of judgment.
