Still kind of wild seeing this written down.
Proud of the work. Grateful I still get to do it.

A vending machine for HIV prevention.
If youād told me that a few years ago, I probably wouldnāt have believed you.
But here in SĆ£o Paulo, itās already a reality.
Itās a simple idea that removes some of the barriers to getting PrEP, PEP and HIV self-testing into peopleās hands.
And it makes you wonderā¦
What if accessing HIV prevention was this easy everywhere?
Next stop: Rio.
Over the next two weeks, weāll be bringing you inside #AIDS2026 with two daily shows alongside our partners @iasociety and @gileadhivus .
Weāll be covering the biggest news, the latest science, and the conversations shaping the future of the HIV response.
If you canāt make it to Rio, follow along. Weāll bring the conference to you.

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

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 didnāt expect.

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

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 didnāt have a great explanation for why he was wearing an AIDS Memorial shirt. He could only think of telling his own story. So thatās what he did.
Then he went to bed.
The following morning, Schmid woke up only to see his post everywhere.
āI had gone viral,ā he tells Queerty. āPardon the pun.ā

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
