Spend a day in the life of HIV+ advocate Leigh Owens as she shares her daily routine and what she’s accomplished since her diagnosis. Her biggest message is this: life does not stop once you are diagnosed with HIV. Despite being incredibly sick when she was first diagnosed, Leigh has bounced back and notes “my life prior to my diagnosis and after is no different.”

Don’t buy into the stigmas and misconceptions when it comes to a positive HIV diagnosis. Know that your life after can be just as complete, active, and fulfilling as it was before.
