World Aids Day - My Positive Moment

In honor of World AIDS Day, the MSD Manuals will feature positive moments from individuals living with HIV. 

 

#MyPositiveMoment stories will highlight the inspiring moment when HIV positive individuals realized that they could live a happy and healthy life.  As a result, we hope to tackle the stigma around the condition by showing that with the right information, education, and support, individuals can still thrive.

Receiving an HIV diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. #MyPositiveMoment tells the stories of three individuals who realized that HIV did not have to define their lives. Listen to their stories here:
