@elettrona
I'd love to call myself one, but what does it take to actually be one?

I believe people living with HIV should have access to healthcare and should be able to lead a life of dignity. But I don't think I have actually done anything that specifically contributes to improving their lives.

@ajayiyer Every context has its space of advocacy. I am wondering, as all sex education, HIV awareness advocates, event organizers, stay on commercial platforms. With all the risks we all know about.
To talk about healthcare, medicine, etc. another kind of movement is needed. Many folks I know, have been in Rio de Janeiro conference. I don't understand anything of medicine, my field is awareness. Think that in my area (Italy) U=U is almost unknown, despite associations do their best to inform about it. But media never mention it properly.
