Marking 34 years ago today that I received my #HIVpositive diagnosis by heading off to deliver a Positive Voice talk to pupils in High Wycombe. Eternally grateful to everyone in my life who has contributed to my survival since 1991. #longtermsurvivor #HIV

My Life Sentence Learning I was HIV-positive 37 years ago changed everything. But lying to the man who I’d trusted turned out to be my biggest act of compassion.

Very proud of this piece. My Life Sentence, recounts a pivotal month in 1988—from the moment I learned my ex was dying in an AIDS ward, to the day he passed. it represents an important piece of both Queer and AIDS history. #aids #longtermsurvivor #gladd

Entering my matronly oversized sunglasses era! Note the pretend laugh smile as I push through accepting age and alterations from AIDS meds facial changes and close-up photographs. #QueerSenor #LongTermSurvivor #AZT #AgingWell I am selfie adverse.

56th birthday. Never expected to be here when diagnosed #HIVpositive in 1991 aged 22. Originally told 8-10 years to live, so every extra birthday is testament to the amazing NHS care, HIV meds and most importantly the love of my inner circle, including B and my sisters. #birthday #longtermsurvivor

As a #LongTermSurvivor, it’s not always easy to feel sexy as you’re #AgingWithHIV. #SpeakingMyTruth

This discussion came up again last week.

Changing up my HIV regimen for the first time in eight years and I totally forgot about how nasty the initial side effects were going to be.

Aging, Advocacy, and the Power of New Sounds A friend recently sent me an article of 50 hardy-har hilarious memes, each with a photo of a random object coupled with the caption, “If you know what this is, you’re officially old.”

First WebMD blog post for 2025 on aging, HIV fatigue, and the power of music. Please share! #HIV #longtermsurvivor blogs.webmd.com/hiv/20250128...

As a survivor of AIDS for 25 years, my experience is amoung the shortest of the champions I now consider friends, some who have been living with HIV for 40+ years. While no longer a life threatening illness, it can have a significant impact on daily living. #aids #worldaidsday #longtermsurvivor

A pleasure to return to Merchant Taylors' School for my 27th annual visit to share my #HIV talk with Year 12.

On my first visit in 1997, I had been diagnosed HIV+ for just 6 years. I could never have imagined then that I would visiting today as a #longtermsurvivor having lived 33 years with HIV.

Theatre volunteer look but make it 80s gay clone #volunteering #longtermsurvivor #oldergaymen Age and HIV meds affect how I feel about how I look.

For those who dont know me, here is my TEDx talk...15 minutes to try and share what was then 27 years of living with HIV, now up to 33 years
Hopefully gives an overview of the past and a look at the present.

Letztes Mimimi von Mimmi dazu

Auf der sehr langen Liste der Nebenwirkungen steht nicht etwa Albträume.
Nö.
Da steht

>Anormale Träume<

Genau so.
Heisst beim Aufwachen einfach nur froh sein den Scheiss überlebt zu haben.

Aber hey
Alles ein Spaziergang heutzutage.
Sagen sie.
