Today is Spirit Day, a reminder to wear purple and stand against bullying and stigma.
There is no shame in being yourself and no shame about being HIV positive.
Visibility and allyship matter every single day.

Today we mark World Mental Health Day. Awareness saves lives and breaks stigma. The semicolon reminds us to keep going, our stories aren’t over yet. Each one is a reminder that hope and healing are possible. 💚

U=U means Undetectable = Untransmittable. Zero possibility of passing on HIV creates endless possibilities to love openly, live with freedom, and move towards equity.

Nothing like CANFAR Legacy & Invest Ottawa’s Après Werk Pride event for a laugh:
Andre: So what brings you both out this evening?
Adrianna: Just looking for that one special person to turn my Pride around.
Me: That’s why we are standing by the washrooms! 🌈
Grateful for joy & community.🏳️🌈

After my lab work I stopped for groceries. The cashier asked what my U=U shirt meant. I explained that if someone living with HIV is on effective treatment and undetectable they cannot transmit the virus sexually. She said, “that’s really cool! I had no idea.”
