#LivingWithHIV Bicho and I: Until the cure, always!
Since I made my HIV status public, many people tell me about family members or acquaintances who died with HIV or even AIDS in the closet. These are stories silenced within families, shared in hushed tones by grandmothers or aunts—realities that will also die with the few who know about them.

By Lucas Fauno Gutiérrez (script) and Jon Amarillo (illustrations). Since we made HIV status visible, many people tell us about family members or acquaintances who died with HIV. Stories silenced within families, shared in hushed tones by grandmothers or aunts—realities that will also die with the few who know. To live and even die in silence. Singled out, humiliated, deafened by the corrosive roar of gossip. Our activism is also about removing the stigma placed upon our lives. To be able to make ourselves visible whenever, wherever, and with whomever we choose. And to never forget those who couldn't speak out, those who didn't receive medication, those who weren't allowed to continue, those who were exhausted, and more. Until a cure, always!
