How far has science progressed with treating HIV? Quite far and Ryan will share all the details.

Today’s episode will give you a peak into Ryan’s life - from his HIV diagnosis, to breaking the news to his family, to recovering from work discrimination, and to conquering life. Cliché as it may sound but Ryan did make lemonades from lemons.   

As you listen to this episode, we hope it gives you a glimpse of what HIV is now, how it’s being treated, the daily experiences of HIV patients and why there shouldn’t be fear and discrimination but instead love and acceptance.  

Summary Outline

Here is Ryan's message for a new HIV diagnosee:

BREATHE!!!  This is not the end of your life but the beginning. Think on the bright side it’s all “POSITIVE” from here on!!!!
