I'm glad he has found the strength to tell the world. Living with AIDS/HIV is nothing to be ashamed of  

[Wet Fire 7,448]

I'm sure he'll use his platform to change how people with HIV are discriminated against 

[Aphasic 4,033]

He's a very brave person. People who live with HV/AIDS know how hard it is to tell your family and close friends about it let alone the world. 

I'm happy he feels secure enough in his life to be able to share such personal matter with all of us.

Before speaking or commenting, think about if your comment is appropriate, rude, insensitive, or downright cruel. It’s one thing to think something privately, and another to send it out into the world for all to see.

I'm happy he felt comfortable enough to share and that he has embraced it instead of no longer living in fear of how people will treat him. There is still a horrible stigma around HIV in this community and it's extremely sad.

First thing I thought was how hard it must've been to relieve all of this through portraying PrayTell's story on Pose  so sad. Tough I'm happy for him to finally feel brave enough to share this with the world and I hope he gets all the love his fans have to offer, because he deserves it. What he's been doing for the visibilization of the queer community is unbelievable, and now this will have a bigger impact in the lives of those who live with HIV and have fought the stigma that comes with it for years.

i'm so proud of him, i hope artists will feel more confident of sharing their status in the years to come
we need more successful examples like him, Andy Bell, JVN and Mykki Blanco
they are extremely necessary to pave the way to respect and love towards people who live with HIV
so that we don't need to read biased fhagottry like the example above..

I think that people with HIV should not be judged for it, it is a treatable disease, I think that people judge them because they associate the disease with promiscuity and 0  protection, although it is one of the major causes there are also many people who were infected by accident or that they have protected themselves all their lives and only once made a mistake. But outside of all that I don't think it's something that people should be scandalized by, a lot more people than you think live with it. Btw so brave of him, so proud for speaking about it.

Very disgusting comment. 

[Lemondeduerl 3,239]

Speaking openly about it actually helps ending the stigma. I'm glad he's brave and confident.
