How I Found Out I was HIV Positive - Ken Like Barbie

“Hi my name is Ken and my story starts at age 26 when I found out I was HIV positive. There was a beautiful boy involved in my story."

My guest, Ken shares his HIV positive story of accepting he was HIV+ and sharing his secret with his online community before anyone else did. He tells us details from figuring out what his test results meant, to what taking his daily medicine means to him, to the greatest lesson and gift from being HIV positive.

My hope is that you hear something universal Ken's story, that you connect with his raw honesty and vulnerability. Perhaps you will realize, you are not alone... I want for everyone to be at peace with who they are (warts and all) and to learn, grow & heal through hearing another person's story.

I can't wait to connect with you, so let the sharing, healing and learning begin...

To the people who have HIV, your family and friends still love you (with or without the virus). Never lose hope.

You are truly beautiful and amazing! I’m also struggling with HIV and AIDS! We need more men like us that are honest and have heart to warn others it’s out there and could happen to anyone!

Why not wear condoms every time no matter what ? Especially in any new relationship ...

See people play too many damn games. The person he "fell in love with" was HIV+ and did not share that with him. This dating and falling in love is highly overrated. been there and done that but you cannot trust people. People can be bitches and selfish. I'm good. I can do bad on my own. Either they come for your money or your health just to get what they want. No thank you.

[mrtruthhurts]

[mohammedkhimji]

Am a little confused... when you and this beautiful boy talked about HIV before getting engaged which resulted in you taking the test.... so why didn't he?

[Noname-izuo]

Such a beautiful person. I hope a cure will be out soon.

[admirlatifovic]

it is lovely how he got excited when he started speaking about social network ❤️

[BSN_ClassOf]

This is so heartbreaking. I'm just curious why were you the only one to get tested, but your partner didn't? Red flag right there...

[sciencebae]

Beautiful soul, captivating spirit! Love how you dealt with your positive status! You’re such an inspiration for others!
