- Hey everyone! Short and sweet, my name is Diana and I was born with HIV.
I just turned 25, was born and raised in California, and have been living in Germany for a while now.
This is just my 'coming out' video, and the first of many where I will talk about what it was like growing up with HIV. My goal is to stop the stigma around HIV by sharing my story, my experiences, and by educating HIV negative people in a fun way. I also want to share my tips and tricks of what I've learned like the big one being, how to tell someone. If I can just help one person, then I feel like I've done my job :)
I want to have fun doing this so please send me any cool ideas! I'm open to it all.
Hope you can join for the journey ;D !
Just wanted to send a major shout out to all my friends, family, and doctors for their continuous support, love, and motivation. Without you I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks again for the endless support :)
My wife is HIV positive and has been for over 30 years. Also from California. She has been undetectable for over 20 years. I am HIV negative. Her HIV status doesn’t bother me in the least. Unfortunately she doesn’t share your positivity toward having HIV. It still depresses her even though I try to explain to her that it doesn’t change who she is. The stigma of HIV is worse than the virus in my opinion. I’m so happy that you are able to show the positive attitude, as you should!! I wish my wife was able to make the same video. I think “coming out” would show her that people would show nothing but love and support. God bless you!!
What test can one take to know ? I know there are multiple test, i know of the 4th generation test duo,
U did great to mention God in the end ,tell your wife that Jesus Christ can heal her ,and if he doesn't heal her he loves her ,the only way to deal with HIV is to take your medicine while praying to Jesus Christ to help you endure it ,and give her his peace a peace that the world cannot comprehend
What a good spirit you have. You have inspired a lot of people I believe
Did you know your wife was HIV before dating her? Or did she get HIV during you guys marriage?
@@ChrisChris-yr2mq she told me when we were dating. It was definitely harder for her to tell me than it was for me to hear it. She was diagnosed in 1990. We were married in 2011. Unfortunately for her, she contracted it during a time when people were terrified of it and she was told she wouldn’t live 5 years. After she told me she had it, it didn’t change how I felt about her at all. It only motivated me to educate myself on the topic. I think I know more about it than her. lol. She’s very healthy and continues to live undetectable, but the stigma is still there and that’s the hard part. If everyone was educated about it, it would make things much easier!!
Just found out I'm HIV negative today after doing confirmatory test...One month ago I was initially misdiagnosed being positive at another healthcare provider. I genuinely understand the mental agony of it and I truly salute people who are living and staying positive with HIV...God bless.
You’re very lucky. False positives are extremely rare. I would not trust that lab for any other type of test.
Hello
Question did u just retake all tests
You have to tell your partner before sex. Your partner has the right to know. It doesn’t matter how you feel.
There is allways one
Everyone knows mate
Don't be a gronk
Your statement is undeniably true, but also very obvious. I am sure she knows.
I mean...duh.
@@Tazza19931 Nope. She tried to defend hiding it. People like that belong in prison.
@@theRPGmaster Ah, did she? I didn't know that.
If you have HIV, tell your partner before sleeping with them, it’s selfish not to. They’re a human being and deserve, at the very least make the decision to or not. That’s something you don’t forget to do.
Why would you if you can't make them sick anyways?
@@excusemehello5904such low probability may exist. It is a life threatening disease not just a chronic condition
@@excusemehello5904 because that’s the human thing to do? So you’re saying as long as a person isn’t caught, it’s okay to deceive your partner, right?
@@FiveMCity you don't get it. As long as an HIV + person takes meds, they can't make their sex partner sick.
@@excusemehello5904 It`s not about the medical condition, its about honesty.
Please don’t shame people that aren’t comfortable dating someone who has HIV/AIDS. In this world, we have one life to live and there is NO CURE for this disease. It is still a serious illness and an expensive illness to manage.
Yup trying to pawn off the blame for a lot of people being promiscuous.
It's a serious illness, but an HIV-positive person cannot transmit the disease if his/her viral load is undetectable due to treatment. HIV treatment has come a very long way. I have a different chronic condition, type 1 diabetes, but I'd say that HIV is now the easier-to-manage illness out of the two.
Ignorant comment
@@ba8898 its still an if and the results are only a snapshot of that day, tomorrow the results could be positive. Diabetes easier if you stick to ketogenic and intermittent fasting diet with daily exercise and sleep. You won't have to take a much body damaging insulin. I say this having managed it for a long time.
@@sethaldrich6902that’s false and you’re spreading misinformation about how it works. Stigmatizing it incorrectly is why diseases spread in the first place.
❤ My two female cousins also went through the same journey as you. Both born HIV+ and have been healthy ever since as one is married with a HIV- husband with a HIV- child, the other is successful in her chemical engineering job. Ages 26 and 30. People need more stories like this
Wait what the whole family has hiv?!
@@nicolemariee7940 nope only the sisters have. The family is negative. One positive is married and her family is negative.
Nice @@RastaAfricanGentlemanI'm a positive man from Africa could you link me up with your cousin who's not married been searching so hard for a partner.
I nursed HIV positive patients here in Australia during the 1980s and onwards. It was a scary time and it was a death sentence back then, thank goodness it isn't a death sentence these days. ❤xx
It's not a death sentence. You are beautiful and still have a beautiful life ahead of you ❤
It IS a death sentence. Treatment isn’t cheap.
@@whiteknob7944treatment is free
It is if you can't afford the meds or if it becomes unavailable in the future.
Dude, I try so hard for these types of people. I think it’s due to corruption in the system still why they can’t get what they want. I think long and hard for them why they can’t get what they want. I really do. Guys she should just give people hiv dude you don’t even go to prison for it anymore and its so much money on TOR because of these pharma drug kidnappings (antipsychotics uck) have you guys ever seen them? They literally don’t even know they’re in the hospital. I don’t know how people get away with this legally but my family tried making software for Defense for the French and they still do it. That’s why you don’t go to prison anymore. If you give someone HIV you just go to a psych ward I bet you just go to a psych ward I mean I have to look it up again. I just wanna know why people still get kidnapped from their homes or property to go to a hospital and get drugged against their will it’s not a law I’ve been looking into it so that’s how I know you you guys could give people HIV and not worry about prison
@@TruFilmProductionsthat's the same thing with food and any other necessities. One day you might not be able to find food
I actually worked on the HIV/AIDS hotline when it first came out. At that time magic Johnson first came out and told people it wasn’t a “gay” disease. There was so much fear then, and I’m really happy you are making this video. I lost a lot of friends to it, and it’s so wonderful that it’s not the same as it once was. I wish I could give you a hug.
People should go to jail for not telling their sexual partner they have hiv or any other std before having sex with them.
It used to be a felony actually. But now it’s just a charge/fine. But the victim has to prove that transmission was intentional by the HIV positive person. Most victims don’t want any more attention to their condition.
@@eatnplaytodaythat’s disturbing. Tue victim is not the one with HIV its the one who got it from the deceiver
Why you have to tell them? You are not forced to tell anyone your privacy. Take the medicine as yoi have to, and that is all.
@@visas_y_viajes * *psssst* * the "Medicine" IS the disease
@@visas_y_viajes Because informed consent is important. Many people would not want to have sex with a HIV positive person, regardless of whether they are on medication or not. And it is misleading and manipulative to withhold that information.
Amazing! Glad you made this video for people to stop having such a stigma. Randomly came up on my algorithm and everyone needs to hear this. Have a long blessed life dear
I wouldn’t risk it but, I respect you for coming out!
totally respect your decision too!
The way you express yourself in front of the world and live your life is really appreciated 💗 God bless you Diana ✨
Fabulous Diana!! I love how you speak on camera and your editing skills are great :) As someone living with a poorly-researched health condition (and as a woman, no less), having a condition makes you a special kind of expert on it, especially when you've lived it for so long. Very eager to see more from you!
Thanks Sarah!! Speaking on camera alone in the room is so strange but I’m trying to spread the message :) happy that you’ll be watching!
had no idea hiv could be undetected and untransmittable, glad to know you're doing well and can thrive despite it!
Yes, and statistically sex with an undetectable is much safer than with someone who never got tested and just assumes they’re negative.
There has been several breakthroughs in HIV research and there is an anti-viral drug that can virtually kill it
@@Anonymouse166really? Wow that’s interesting
Tbf there’s so much misinformation about HIV and a lot of the advances aren’t spoken about. I think speaking about these things and being open about it will help more people in the long run.
Me too
First time I'm hearing it
Thank you Diana- I don’t have HIV or AIDS but You are very up front to tell it which was easy to understand and you are also compassionate and full of love- i am one of those people who do sometimes have a preconceived idea of someone and you really changed my mind- you are human and look just like us- stay strong W content ❤
Hi
You’re awesome, Diana. As a medical student I thought I knew a lot about HIV, but your story makes me realize I have so much to learn. I can't even imagine what it was like for you holding this in for so long! It's a privilege to hear your story. I'm so proud of you!!
Janki the future doctor ;) get ready to learn a lot more about it :P

You are super strong Diana. Happy to see you speak out about HIV, irrespective of what the world would think of you. More power to you Diana!! :)
Hello Diana! Thank you so much for this video, there exist such unnecessary stigma around STDs!! I can not even imagine how many people this video has helped!! You should be extremely proud for posting this video :)
I can see there is a lot of pain inside you but yet you reveal it out bold and with a cute smile on your face. Hats off for you guts Diana😇
Thank you for having the courage to tell your story and putting great factual information out there!
U=U r amazing!!! I've never commented on TH-cam but I guess this was what I've been saving myself for (first time, so nervous 😬). In all seriousness, I'm so proud of you, what you are doing takes a lot of courage and strength, and I am so excited to follow your journey!
Nailing the jokes 😂👏keep em coming. Thanks Serena, lucky to have you :)

This was really informative for me. As an 80's baby, I have been a victim of the stigmas and stereotypes. I had no idea that undetectable means untransmittable. This was a real eye opener 👍 Very informative.
Thank you for sharing! You're a beautiful soul, educating people, dispelling myths, and empowering others. You're are amazing light to the world :)
These are incredibly kind words, I take them to heart thank you :) and it takes one to know one 💕
Great video Diana! Already in this short video I learnt a lot about this topic that I did not know before!! I am looking forward to the next videos to keep learning about it! Thank you for sharing :)
Woo that's great Arianna!! Hope you will continue to learn interesting stuff from the future ones :)
You are awesome Diana!! Excited for what's to come for you :)
Thanks Anthony!! Let's see what happens :D
Thank you for this interesting and enlightening video! I'm sorry this is something you have had to deal with but I'm really glad you've never let it hold you back. Best wishes to you from Sweden 🇸🇪
One of my oldest friends is HIV positive and has been since we were teenagers. The progression of and the breakthrough treatments we have seen over the last 20 years is incredible and a literal lifesaver. There was a time period that we weren't sure he was going to make it. Thankfully he's healthy as a horse and loving life. I do want to elaborate on something you said. You said that those who aren't showing a viral load cannot transmit HIV. That is not completely true. First off I don't particularly like that statement because I think it's a dangerous outlook and I'll explain why. Those who are HIV positive and have that mindset could start having unprotected sex over and over and over again because they believe can't transmit it. Though it's incredibly rare, The fact of the matter is it can occasionally happen. It can be a complete anomaly or your body could potentially stop reacting to the medication and the way that it once did and slightly raising your viral load but could happen in between your checkup testing and of course would end up not being known to you and through that you can end up passing on HIV. Again highly unlikely and a near certainty that it won't but remember and near certainty isn't certainty. So I do still think that those who HAV positives should continue to practice safe sex and being honest with their partners about it.
I want to make clear that I don't judge you nor would I unless under one circumstance and I'll explain that later. If I met you and we had a true connection then this would not stop me from wanting to date you and get to know you. Nor would it stop me from being sexually active with you. But I am a willing participant at that point because you've been honest and made it clear to me. However everybody should have that same choice. You said that "people with HIV make mistakes and forget to tell people". That is absolutely and absurd statement that honestly makes me question whether or not you're a good unless I took that out of context and miss interpreted what you said in and if I did then I Truly apologize and I'll admit that I was wrong. Aside from being under the influence to the point where you are not aware of your surroundings and end up getting in the heat of the moment Then there is no excuse whatsoever for not telling your partner before interacting with them sexually. There's no way that a sober individual forgets that unless they just simply don't care about people. I was talking to this about my friend a few months back. Keep in mind he's had HIV for 20 years now and there hasn't been a single time in which telling somebody slipped his mind. Oh and if somebody claimed to forget while sober then I would lean towards them not being honest with you and instead just being selfish and not wanting to admit that they didn't want to feel embarrassed or didn't want to get into the conversation and was simply horny and hadn't had some in a while so decided not to say anything. Anybody who does that is a horrible person. Nobody should have that choice taken from them. Again for me it wouldn't make any difference. As long as you're a good person and you have no viral load and it's not going to stop me from interacting with you or looking at you any differently. But the truth of the matter is not everybody looks at it the way I do. You cannot lose sight of that. All that aside I think you are incredibly brave for making this video and I admire you for that as well as respect you and I hope that you have a wonderful life full of joy and love. God bless.
Yeah this video and her attitude rubbed me the wrong way. Sounds arrogant and selfish. It's disgraceful to put others in danger, even if it's not a big risk (she also said knowingly hiding it is a "simple mistake").
You are blessed Diana. Both my parents died from HIV. I could of had it but it turns out there’s no HIV in my system. I’ve had numerous blood tests and I’m HIV negative. But it is hard telling people how my parents died because they will think I have HIV.
Don't tell them. It's irrelevant because you don't have it.
Why you feel like you have to tell them
It’s personal. Unless it affects you or that person, you don’t have to reveal anything. It’s none of their business
Because "HIV" is not a transmissible virus.
Wow that’s heavy I’m so sorry you had to go through that experience. It’s such a double edged sword that on the one hand you are spared from hiv, but on the other hand, both your parents passed away. Sending you warmth and good energy ✨
I learned so much from this video! Thank you for helping remove the fear and stigma from HIV.
Same here
Yay that’s the goal ☺️
@@dianakoss2686glad you are still active and read the comment
❤
Whatever happens in your life in the future and I hope it will be as amazing as possible, just know that you speaking openly about your HIV status and informing people is a very positive signal, that really helps a lot of people profoundly and just for that you give me hope in humanity. I'm not personally directly impacted in anyway, but I was raised with the fear of HIV. It is very profound and only learned very recently about PreP and today I learned about U=U. We need more people like you to speak up and as you say get rid of the stigma and this touches a lot of topics not only HIV. What I'm trying to say is you are amazing and you definitely deserve all the love and sex you want and like you said no one should feel bad about it. I wish you the very best!
You are simply wonderful! You are saving lives with your open approach. Wishing you a long, healthy and productive life.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with the world, Diana! It's damn brave and so important! Looking forward to learn a lot about HIV and all that stuff! 🤓💪🏼

Wow in your 8minute video and I have learnt more about hiv than from anywhere else in my entire 35 years of life. Thanks so much
You are very brave telling people about this. It must be very difficult, knowning how people generally react to these things. I wish you good luck in finding those understanding and loving people. There aren't many about.
Hey Diana, that was interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing what else we'll learn from you.
Thanks Alex! Looking forward to filming the next ones :)

Hi
A cousin of mine died of AIDS back in the 90's. They got it from a blood transfusion after an accident. The medical advances these days. Bless you and good luck.
I suppose this is part of the reason why when I go donate blood to the hospital, I don't get any money for it (where I live anyways). They just give people a bit of food and something to drink.
There are private companies where people can go donate blood plasma and they pay around $40 equivalent for one donation. That's different than full blood and I don't know to what extent things can be transmitted by plasma, but it still makes me kinda nervous.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I had no idea that medication had progressed to the point that it can now be undetected, that's so great! I hope you can stay happy and healthy and keep up your journey helping others.
Love You ❤️ Thank you for being honest with yourself and teach others to do the same. And thank you for letting us come into your closet to eliminate the boundaries between your being and that of the society around you. ❤
Thank you, honesty and vulnerability are very important ❤️ I just want people have an understanding for each other 😇
Everything is positive about you , only point is its unethical to not disclose your status to your partner at any uncondition and to your primary caregiver at any stage , because any person coming knowingly or unknowingly in touch with any body fluid of yours have the right to know and take precautions as per their stands
No need to disclose for anything that doesn't even exist
@@Biochemistry-Debunks-Coronaif that person stops taking the medication and then it will exist again it's only dormant. Same with the herpes virus, all future partners have a right to know medical history so they can determine if it's worth the risk for themselves.

Thank you!!I would react by smiling and saying ‘hi’!
People get really low on themselves with a diagnosis of herpes too. If you can also talk about this as well?
yes i should! Crazy how huge of a role stigma plays. In the US i remember how "disgusting" and "gross" herpes is whereas in germany, it's just seen as a skin condition XD actually doctors say you don't even need to disclose it because most people in the german population have already had some type of contact to it!
You are super brave. I lost a friend that got sick with AIDS and I feel that the intercession point between you and him was the not knowing if people would accept him. Statements like yours are so important today. I know my friend ended up sick and past but I also know that part of the sadness he carried on was based on the rejection he was getting for the majority of people❤ Thanks for sharing this ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind words and sharing your experience so openly. I'm sorry that you lost a friend who got sick with AIDS. 100% the stigma is so awful and I feel so sad that he had to deal with rejections, it's so hard on the soul 😔

Hello! I conduct HIV quantitative testing on hundreds of patients, and it’s amazing to see patients undetectable for years!! I want to just add that the quantitation sensitivity has only become infinitely better over the last decade and continues to progress. We have the science and power to help HIV + patients live normal and healthy lives. I’m so happy you shared your story. This disease must be de stigmatized. I will say, there are complications that can arise from carrying other viruses, like HBV and HCV, that can complicate HIV prognosis, but by and large, patients can live normal lives!
I really love your story, and I appreciate how you explain with so much transparency. I believe that will make other people with the same condition look at their disease with hope.
You are a very kind person...have a good long life❤🎉❤
I wish you good health dear! You are wonderful human being! ❤❤❤ sending u lots of love and support! You have good energy! ☀️

@@dianakoss2686 dearest diana, I would like to contact you.. Is there a way
Thank you for sharing and bringing more light into a subject not many talk about.
I'm very happy to hear this!
Your confidence level is superb, zero hatred towards your parents. Long live 🙏
Thanks for the compliment ☺️ it hasnt always been like this - it’s definitely been a journey!
She’s disgusting for encouraging people to lie by omission about HIV. The chance of transmission is not 0%, it never is
you are a role model girl,we so proud of you❤
You’re truly amazing and so beautiful Diana ❤ brave soul. It’s not easy to open up regarding this. So sad you have to go through this. It’s true we all are gonna die someday. Don’t give up. Keep inspiring people around you. God bless
Always stay upbeat like this, and have a good time, that's all that ultimately matters. Of course I wish HIV didn't exist at all, but everybody's got their big problem, and this is just that for you and other HIV positive people, at least for the time being. All the best with everything.
Finally!! You go Diana, you are amazing for doing this and I can't wait to follow you and watch all your videos
Yessss it's finally happening!!
You emit such a bright and positive energy naturaly it warms my heart when I hear you.
Thank you 🥺🫶
@@dianakoss2686 hlo mam how can I contact you .?
Hi Diana, Stay strong and more power to you girl!!! God Bless You!!
So super PROUD of YOU!!!❤
This was amazing! So proud of you! One question if you may, how did your friends react?
Thanks Axel :) Do you mean when I came out and posted it all over social media :P or when I told my friends beforehand? Either way they were very loving and supportive 🤗
this was a charming and informative video, it deserves more attention.
Hi Diana, I'm so happy that it's manageable nowadays and that it's suppressed/U=U for you. Your attitude is wonderful ❤
I've known one HIV positive person but I learned several new things from your video. I think it's important and valuable to share such information 🙂
I wish you all the best (including with your PhD & related work)!
God Bless you Diana ...and everyone watching this
