This web page provides the stories of three people with HIV. Each story is unique, but they have all come to embrace their lives with HIV, providing support to those who recently received a diagnosis. Chelsea White now runs an HIV and AIDS adolescent outreach program. Nicholas Snow hosts a radio show that touches many topics, including life with HIV. Josh Robins manages a blog to emphasize that he is still the same person, to reduce the stigma of AIDS, and to connect with others who also have the disease. This 10-minute read could be used to discuss stigmatizing conditions, perhaps to have general audiences reflect on stigma or a starting point for further research into how those diagnosed with HIV can lead the lives they had before the diagnosis.
