New set. Same mission. Real conversations. No scripts. I’m in one chair… who needs to be in the other? šŸ‘‡ Drop a name - we’re booking. #PlusLifeMedia #PlusTalk #OnSet #BehindTheScenes #TalkShow 01 Apr 2026 Still kind of wild seeing this written down. Proud of the work. Grateful I still get to do it. 29 Sep 2026 A vending machine for HIV prevention. If you’d told me that a few years ago, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But here in SĆ£o Paulo, it’s already a reality. It’s a simple idea that removes some of the barriers to getting PrEP, PEP and HIV self-testing into people’s hands. And it makes you wonder… What if accessing HIV prevention was this easy everywhere? Next stop: Rio. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be bringing you inside #AIDS2026 with two daily shows alongside our partners @iasociety and @gileadhivus . We’ll be covering the biggest news, the latest science, and the conversations shaping the future of the HIV response. If you can’t make it to Rio, follow along. We’ll bring the conference to you. šŸ‡§šŸ‡·ā¤ļø 23 Jul 2026 Election results will shape HIV funding, medication access, and essential support like housing, transportation, and mental health care. Journalist Tim Murphy and @savehivfunding Campaign Manager @maddmaxxblk explain why these midterms matter for people living with HIV on an episode of #PlusTalk by @pluslifemedia’s @karljschmid. 10 Nov 2026 Sleeping in isn’t really a thing when you have a little dog who wants breakfast at dawn. So here we are. Coffee. Sunrise. Saturday morning. 07 Nov 2026 He’s BACK šŸ”„ Zachary Willmore returns to talk dating with HIV: skydiving first dates, the ā€œhumiliationshipā€ era, and learning he’s worth choosing. šŸ’› What’s the wildest thing you’ve done on a first date? #PlusTalk #PlusLife #HIV #EndHIVStigma #DatingWithHIV 03 Nov 2026 Six years ago today, I met Gus. He was this tiny. I had no idea how much this little dog was about to become part of my life. Happy Gotcha Day, Gus. ā¤ļø 01 Nov 2026 Ever wonder what +Life actually is? This is probably the quickest way to explain it. We make HIV content that looks and feels like the rest of your life. People. Stories. Sex. Science. Fashion. Travel. Culture. Take a look. And tell me what you didn’t expect. 29 Oct 2026 Always good when @zacharywillmore stops by. We taped two new +Talks today. One about living fully with HIV today, while we keep pushing for a cure. The other? Dating, sex, confidence and being HIV positive. Two very different conversations. Coming soon on +Talk. ā¤ļø 22 Oct 2026 What does living healthy with HIV actually look like? šŸ’› Karl sits down with civil rights leader and activist Cecilia Chung and Aaron Laxton, Executive Director of Assisted Recovery Centers of America, to talk U=U, why stigma still shows up in everyday life, and what it really takes to thrive. #HIV #EndHIVStigma #PlusLife 20 Oct 2026 It was a Friday night after work, and Karl Schmid was at The Abbey. For years, the TV reporter had toyed with disclosing his HIV status. But friends and mentors always advised him against it. Still, he felt compelled to make a statement. Wearing a t-shirt for the AIDS Memorial Instagram account, Schmid asked someone to take a picture. Pleased with his aesthetics, he did what any gay would: post! Except, Schmid didn’t have a great explanation for why he was wearing an AIDS Memorial shirt. He could only think of telling his own story. So that’s what he did. Then he went to bed. The following morning, Schmid woke up only to see his post everywhere. ā€œI had gone viral,ā€ he tells Queerty. ā€œPardon the pun.ā€ Follow the link in bio to read more. #karlschmid #QueertyTimeOut 19 Oct 2026 AIDS Walk LA today. West Hollywood showed up HIV care still matters. Prevention still matters. Funding still matters. The work that @aplahealth does is more important than ever. And honestly, seeing this many people still turn out for HIV made me very happy. Good to be there. ā¤ļø #AIDSWalkLA #APLAHealth #PlusLife 18 Oct 2026
