The Cure Chronicles: HIV with Janeli Alejandra

Janeli Saucedo-Castrejana is a TikToker and mother of three. Janeli was diagnosed with HIV in 2010. She fell in love and did not let the fact that her soon-to-be husband was living with HIV stop her from marrying him. They were cautious throughout their relationship and marriage, but shortly after their marriage, Janeli tested positive for HIV. It took her some time to get to where she is now, but she decided to start sharing her story on TikTok to give others helpful information and hope for their futures. Today, Janeli is an HIV advocate both on social media and in her real life.

About The Cure Chronicles:

There are more than 37 million people in the world currently living with HIV/AIDS. At Addimmune, we believe there is hope for a cure. But it will take everyone working together to make it a reality and permanently end the suffering of millions of people living with HIV today.

Addimmune is testing a single-infusion cell therapy (AGT103-T) to hopefully cure people living with HIV, which would mean no more lifelong antiretroviral therapy, no fear of AIDS, and no possibility of spreading HIV. Meanwhile, we want to spotlight some of the many people in the HIV community who strive to keep hope alive and tip the odds toward success.

The Cure Chronicles video series features thoughtful conversations with people living with HIV, advocates, medical experts, policymakers, and others working hard toward the shared goal of ending the devastating HIV epidemic.
