So that’s what the fakery’s about.
After taking my #HIV medication, for #ThePAChat, I interviewed my colleague Shawna Mitchell, head of case management at Vivent Health + TPAN, about how SNAP rule changes are affecting people living with HIV. About 1/3 to 1/2 of people with HIV in the U.S. rely on SNAP. @posaware.bsky.social
Unfortunate changes are happening to the post office—this is one of them. As a result, PA is switching to UPS to ship bulk copies of the magazine. Update your shipping info—or place your new order: distribution@positiveaware.com.
This is a stopgap measure, in effect through June 30, as lawmakers work toward a new state budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year.

Look what was in my laptop bag.
The made me chortle out loud in public.
Breakfast—scrambled eggs, cheese, tomato and onion on a croissant—for lunch, with my #HIV medication. (Maybe it’s just me, but looking at that croissant with a bite taken out of it, it kinda reminded me of the Millennium Falcon.)
I’d love to hear from you if you’re coming to Chicago to attend NMAC’s Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit. DM me.
Which to have first—my favorite chicken tacos in Andersonville or my #HIV medication? ¡Buen provecho!
Ignorance has consequences. Willful ignorance is irresponsible.
The federal government no longer recognizes National HIV/AIDS Awareness Days. That’s why we the people need to stand up and call out how HIV impacts our communities.

The funding bill was presented to Gov. DeSantis on March 18; lawmakers expect it to be signed possibly within days, though no timeline has been confirmed. Gaps remind. Biktarvy is still off the #ADAP formulary; Descovy is subject to restricted use.

Looks like we’re having a little of all the weather today. Enjoying the show while taking my HIV medication.
Time for my #HIV medication while waiting to meet up with my friend Charlie for breakfast.
Watch actor-performer Keiynan Lonsdale talk with Positively Aware special correspondent Tony Morrison about exploring his sexuality and identity through creativity—and about being on PrEP.

“Talking about #HIV and prevention can feel uncomfortable,” says actor-performer Keiynan Lonsdale in an interview with PA. “...I get tested to know my status. I understand my prevention options. And I’m choosing to speak up so others can too.”

Hey, #airplanenerd friends, I’m flying back to sweet home Chicago aboard an Airbus A-321neo—second flight in a row aboard a 321neo. I like!
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a reminder that HIV uniquely affects women—every day.
#NWGHAAD
Sitting at the kitchen table with my #HIV medication.
Yeah, I’d read that a while back. I thought the 787 was supposed to have air filtration/circulation.
For all my fellow #airplanenerd friends, I’m aboard an Airbus A-321 neo. I like the interior; it feels roomier and lighter than a 737.
Just about the only time I eat McDonald’s is when I’m at the airport. Breakfast at the gate as I take my #HIV medication and wait for my flight to L.A.
Siloed leadership among HIV organizations is limiting collaboration and sidelining grassroots groups closest to communities most in need, says activist Von Biggs in a new First Person op-ed for @posaware.bsky.social.

A froggy—er, foggy—Friday morning, taking my #HIV medication.
I can’t help but think about the changes happening to Florida’s #AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP)—thousands of people stand to lose access to the same #HIV medication case I take. Today—March 4—is the last day for public comment on this and other cuts. Make your voice heard:

And then there was one. Time to restock the supply of my hashtag#HIV medication I keep at work.
Before taking my #HIV medication, I took advantage of the public comment period that’s open now through March 4 to weigh in on the cuts to Florida’s ADAP program.
You can tell the State of Florida what you think of these ADAP cutbacks: flrules.org/Gateway/View_notice.asp?id=30517381

Once I got to my desk this morning, the first thing I did was take my #HIV medication.
