Jimmy did a good job with this interview. He listened. He let him speak. We all learned. This would never have happened on Fallon.
Absolutely true. Fallon is also a huge fake and a big kiss ass!
Lmao. Literally true
Aww why so mad? He loves everyone coming in and has a lot of fun with people. Thankfully you don't watch him then. Jimmies unite! Both are good. Trevor Noah on the other hand.
I think Jimmy Kimmel is a good host and interviewer. He really only talks over his guests when he is super excited to see them or loves the show they are promoting etc.
@@arizonalady7569 You're on time out.
Can we talk about how he just discussed HIV on national television for 10 minutes and that has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE? This is so important and incredible
Shawna's Ideas magic johnson talked about aids for hours back in the 90s. this isnt the first time someone has publicly talked about aids.
And it was sooooo entertaining to watch! Could talk about anything and make it watchable
@@theshireman5642 Yes but also the fact that people can count on their hands the number of times hiv/aids have been talked about is appaling so maybe not the first time but certainly the first time for the internet generation and let's make it double triple!!!
@@holobenthic dallas buyers club that was a good movie
@@theshireman5642 I honestly hated that we collectively accepted jared leto playing a trans woman (and getting an oscar for it) when there are SOOOO many trans actresses who could have had exposure with the role but yeah it did have its five minutes of fame and it did bring light to the situation so we love it
No medications should cost thousands of dollars. That's inhumane
Yeah! Especially, if is life-saving and protects against spreading the disease. Especially especislly, if it is all made up figures with an insane profit margin. Sure, producing the medication is not inexpensive, it's not Cents. But its not thousands of Dollars
Absolutely!
TinyTeacup that’s why I say, BERNIE 2020. I would want to take advantage of any years we’ve got with the grandpa
I couldn't agree more. Maot drug companies are absolutely horrible because they only care about money!
Come on USA, look and learn. 100 other countries have already done it!
He is so educated about HIV and the treatments, i am thankful he is bringing attention to this matter
yes!
Yes and the importance of healthcare and affordable medication and funding PLANNED PARENTHOOD! *BERNIE 2020!*
he would sound more educated if he said like less
Cuz he is HIV.
@Jeff Pennwick Think of how many people don't know about certain illnesses until they catch them. Him being HIV positive doesn't change the positive outcome of his activism. The point is educating. Sharing knowledge. What he's doing is better than staying quiet.
He needs his own talk show. I’d watch.
Steven Walker he has an amazing podcast called Getting Curious!
Shellie Wass oh. I will have to check it out
his podcast is amazing and educating
@@stevendwalker His podcast is seriously fantastic. Every week he has on a specialist on a topic that could be anything you could imagine. JVN is absolute sunshine in human form and also incredibly smart and interested in a broad realm of topics. I've learned a lot from Getting Curious, I recommend it to everyone!
He's got a podcast but I agree. I need this on reality TV.
1. His beard is looking LUSH
2. I am so happy he is raising awareness and educating people about a genuinely important issue
3. Can we take a moment to appreciate how JVN actually uses his celebrity platform to try and fight for the improvement of our society
Having HIV will never improve society

@@chinesewarrior8640 Why are you here? Share your vitriol elsewhere.
he is an ANGEL my gosh
Every time I witness Jonathan several things happen. I get educated, elated and a big smile forms on my face from something inspirational, querky, silly or new that he has enticed my mind and my heart with. Bravo to his spirit! What a gift to the planet he is!!!
Sacred Grooves you’ve just described my connection with him as well. Such a cool guy.
I 100% agree. I just love Jonathan.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Perfectly said! 👏🏼👏🏼
listen to his podcast then! if you havent already!
I appreciate how Jimmy doesn't interrupt people during their stories and explanations, the caring and empathy he has is really something to be respected.
My 60 year old brother is HIV. His community was decimated by AIDS in the late 80's, it was very sad. He has been living in Canada for the last 30 years thankfully where his medications are covered and he is thriving. America needs to move in this direction.
Good for him. I'd say make America as great as Canada when it comes to healthcare
dutchdna the only downside is that we have to wait, still I’d rather our slow free healthcare over paying for everything and going into debt. Should be a right.
@@rhysjones1108 The problem in the USA is the tremendous profits the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare providers (mostly hospitals), and insurance companies are pulling out of healthcare, year after year.
Most medications are not covered under our provincial health care. We need supplemental health insurance to cover the cost of medications, which is not free at all.
@@bxcinderella Still better than no insurance and no coverage whatsoever
You'd think the meds to keep the virus load down would be considered a public health issue itself, and the meds would be free for that reason alone... I mean, y'know... in a sane world, anyhow.
New Message yes!!!!!!!!
I agree but its your own responsebility to use the right protection ya know
Only love Me victim shaming is disgusting... there are people out there who contract hiv _unwillingly_ so your views are very close minded and what causes a lot of people who are diagnosed not to share.
nya sha i just said that I agreed I know that in some cases it isnt their fault. But for YOU to say that Iam shaming them is so stupid since I dont even judge them. I just shared my opinion. What wasnt rude.
@@onlyloveme1880 you're right I'm sorry and I take that back. Not all people get infected by being irresponsible. Some people get raped or are born through an infected parent it's just your comment comes across as absent thought or consideration for those cases or even those living with the virus in general. Again I apologise for my statement
I have never seen this young man before of have any idea what he does for a living. But I just get a very good Vibe and what a fantastic energy about him.
he is a hairdresser
He is my MOOD!!! Everyday! I love Jonathan!
Mike Campbell and he’s an emmy nominee- for two different shows both the same year.
He’s a wonderful person.
he has a podcast called getting curious that i recommend to anyone who loves to learn!
Wonderful that he’s standing up for Planned Parenthood.
technically he is sitting down lol
Hell yeah, we need more vocal support for such an amazing place
yeah most guys in LA get tested at AHF. I wonder if he intentionally said Parent Planned cause they're getting attacked left and right
@factionalgold Are you being deliberately stupid?
Brian Sounalath
If so I like him even more.
All of his (wonderful) humour and sassy jokes aside, JVN is an incredibly intelligent, inspiring and well-spoken human being. Thanks for doing so well!!
I couldnt have said it any better!
Dino Bonacic I love him 😩😭💕
AGREED!! He is very sweet and inspiring.
So why is he supporting a politican who voted for Reagan? Fraud!
I feel like I am listening to Elle Woods.
I love Elle Woods.
Solange omg yes. Great comparison
Jenn H Ha! Totally. Love them both
omg you're a genius. Yes LW.
Solange YESSS omg he is a male version of Elle Woods
or xoxo gossip girl lol he's fantastic I love his personality
“Really honeys, let’s talk more about it”, YES YES!
Jimmy barely even needed to ask him questions haha. He gets started and he just goes. Not a criticism, I love him. I just find it amusing.
BetterLifeAhead Talk show hosts love guests who do the work for them haha
@@emilynelson5444 especially good hosts. Some like to interrupt and definitely take away from the guest.
PEACE, FREE THINKING, GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY, BONANZA, HUMANITY UNITED
Like I feel energized just watching him. So much energy
Kathlynn Raphael I know me too!!!!
3500 for any medication should be illegal
tyo789 right!!
In Brazil all HIV medication is for free!
This makes me so happy. I did a project on HIV and AIDS in high school because I always thought this was such an important topic, and I remember all the other students made fun of me and would tell other people I have HIV behind my back.
It's time to move forward!
SLY thank you so much
Thank you for being brave and doing what’s right!
COURAGEOUS!
It's scary when we stigmatize topics we can't educate ourselves on them and help. I would have been way to scared to do that but that is very awesome of you!
Jvn always impresses me how much he research topics and can talk for hours about it.
he needs to know the ins and outs of this topic, his life depends on it
And I could listen to him for hours!
'"We have to breath honey" could be a good campaign slogan" lololo.. yes, it could..
while barely taking a breath in this whole interview lol
PEACE, FREE THINKING, GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY, BONANZA, HUMANITY UNITED
He sat right across from me in fourth grade and went all throughout school with him. Very proud of who he's become! Support him 100%! Q town loves you Jonathan!!♥️👊✊
david white ..... what dude?
I used to sit right across him every Tuesday mornings at the local Sally’s Beauty Supply (they had chairs and tables...it was a fancy one okay). It was 1994 and the smell of beard oil and hair products penetrated every last pore in those glamorous white walls.
@Joshua Miller What a lovely thing to say good on you. Should be more people like you and him 🌟
@david white opinions matter so much less when they're driven by hate and fear. Who has the time nowadays to hate-watch and hate-comment on videos anyways? This guy's taking a stand for an important health issue, and it's great that that health issue doesn't affect your life, but people, other than you, lead their own lives. Separate from you. Every day. If something affects you in no way, why waste your time commenting on it? So go busy yourself with a purposeful life. And worry about yourself.
S. Lee don’t listen to David White, he’s obviously trolling & clearly wasting his own time. Must not have much to do in his own life 😁 Sending you a hug✨
The healthcare system in this country is so broken. I am a nurse and see it every day.
Tassy McCormick what is one thing about it that disturbs you the most:(?
Lina Leeann it’s hard to say what bothers me the most, but it all boils down to money. Medicaid, Medicare, as well as private insurance companies try SO HARD to find a way not to pay for services, medications, etc. We had a meeting last week regarding how a new charting system is being implemented, and if we don’t chart EXACTLY how Medicaid, Medicare wants it, they will deny payment and the financial burden will fall back on the patient. People go absolutely bankrupt because of medical events, and healthcare is a RIGHT, not a privilege.
Thank you for your service, I’m sure it’s takes a lot of time getting that right and it’s a lot of pressure on you so Thank you 💞
Dessy Allen Thank you for your kind words. Nursing is my calling. I could never see myself doing anything else. I wish money wasn’t an issue, and we could just care for our patients without that concern. It takes away from the time I can spend at my patients bedside, because I have to worry about specialty charting.
@@tassymccormick with Medicare the cost does not usually fall on the patient because you have to have a certain form to bill the patient. The cost usually falls on the institution, the hospital, the clinics etc. That is why the er charges 50 bucks for a bandaid because if they actually do jump through all the hoops correctly and get reimbursed they make about 25 cents off that bandaid. If Medicare for all became a reality many large companies would not accept Medicare because the reimbursement is so low and it's not guaranteed, many small clinics would fail and close. Private insurance isn't the problem it's what Medicare is allowed to get away with that is the problem. The things they demand and expect for their nothing reimbursement that is the problem, Medicare must be reassessed first and should not be allowed to demand the extremes they demand. I work in healthcare as an auditor and I see their crap reimbursement every day.
I have a friend dying from AIDS. He is also homeless because his family has disowned him. This hasn't stopped. We need the media blitz like we had in the 80s for awareness.
I don't know if i should like your comment as to acknowledge it or say sth, because it shouldn't be a problem, we are in time and age that it is common to have and you should not be discriminate anyone. What you need to know is how to live with someone who has it. You can even be pregnant with a HIV positive partner….
I truly don't know much about it, but aren't they in the same line?
@@missanonymus585 Yes, HIV is the virus which can be treated and isn't the deathsentence it used to be. However: if it remains untreated for whatever reason then the HIV virus can and will turn into the disease known as AIDS and that actually is an extremely dangerous disease that leads to death. It shuts down your immune system. So while usually it isn't the AIDS that kills you, it's a disease or affliction you get because of AIDS that is the cause of death. Think like pneumonia or other illnesses
@@davidrutgers2632 Thanks.
He just gorgeously smart honey.
What an angel. We need more JVN’s in this world
Yes, with his support for Planed Parenthood is a real angel of death

@@valebene2186 Because being born into a world were you have to pay 35,000 dollars for life saving medication is the better option. You don't care about that baby after it's born, you just want to control other people's actions
All y’all should check out his podcast if you haven’t already: Getting Curious
It’s absolutely amazing! Such fantastic guests and his interview style is so disarming and clever!
The Green Queen thanks!
PEACE, FREE THINKING, GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY, BONANZA, HUMANITY UNITED
It brought a tear to my eye when he was explaining about planned parenthood and all the hoops to jump through for someone to get access anf funding for treatment. Most of those people are probably trying/having to do it alone too. How overwhelming to hear the diagnosis and then having to suffer through the paperwork. My heart goes out to all the people. Im so glad he talked about everything though. There was so much I never knew or didn't realize.
I love Planned Parenthood, because murdering the unborn is such a beautiful thing!
He’s speaking truth!!!! Navigating for treatment when diagnosed is HARD and no one helps!
I've said it before and I'll say it again... PROTECT JONATHAN VAN NESS AT ALL COSTS
jvn is truly such an inspiration. fearlessly himself in the face of adversity. what a king.
*queen ;)
Jonathan is a marvel. I’m reading his book right now.
This is an important interview.
Wow people don’t realize how monumental and important this is!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I LOVE Jonathan Van Ness SO much! He is such an angel and I have so much love for this much needed dialogue! And to top it all off, I have to say, I am adoring the exchange between JVN and Jimmy. You can tell they really enjoy one another and I appreciate Jimmy for delving into this book with him. Bless you both! 💜
I just adore him! Bless him for his courage and being able to be so poised throughout this interview! He seems very woke!
I love him and love Jimmy for giving him this platform....
JVN is doing such a service to humanity, people who don't know about HIV can't even understand! Thank you so much Jonny, you're such a bright human being. You make our planet so much better!
Wow I had no idea about him being H.I.V positive.. sadly a lot of people of low income can't afford the medicine to live a long healthy life
b dee these companies are so inhumane and it’s sad. those prices are absolutely absurd
It's there fault tho, don't have unprotected sex
Its sad if people are really just finding that out.
The part that low income families suffer a lot.
It some developing countries it's free, it's just that in some country it's also so expensive.
So amazing how far we've come in such a short amount of time. I lost my brother to AIDS in 2001. Here we are, 19 years later, and the medication we have now for HIV has come so far
Bless you and your brother 💜
Cody I imagine they are, and that is an crazy cost, but having loved ones here instead of watching them be eaten away by AIDS has got to be better. Hopefully they will be able to reduce the cost of meds
It's so expensive. It's crazy.
Those companies are making huge load of money. So greedy.
yes :( And they KNOW that people NEED it... how evil must one be to make money in such a way?! Well... the same people, who stored food, when society was lacking food to jack up the prices... or who fought to keep slavery etc... some people just can't see anything else but cold profit.... probably to fill some hole inside of them... and everyone of them is weirdly surprised, when they find out you can't push money into a void, that needs warmth and connection... :/
And consider it’s free or only a minimal cost for people in so many countries
@@donalflynn7764 it should be an established human right!
The companies are not to blame here, they put in a lot of time and money into developing those meds. In all the Europien countries and other western countries the medication and treatments are FREE no money. Because we all have to have health insurance by law! The US system is flawed. And that's your government's fault, not the med. companies. The reserach and development teams there save our lives daily.
פני אפרצב agreed
What a genuinely good human being. Jonathan is so intelligent and well-spoken. I love that he's using his fame to help better the world 💜
Jonathan is all over my feed, he is blowing up and I love it! It was crazy to see his short clip about his HIV and addictions... I gravitated so much to him because he is such a positive person and to know that he is who he is now, such an inspiration.
May he be blessed because he going to help a lot struggling with the same situation
He’s an amazingly well spoken advocate! What a blessing to the community and all of us at large.
He is a blessing to so many, especially to the unborn children murdered by his beloved Planned Parenthood
I wanna be his friend, if i was a celebrity i would invite him everywhere
Xiao Ran Li same!
Yasss queen!
This is a wonderful interview and I’m glad Jimmy let Jonathan speak. He said something very important is that lifestyles/people that would be considered “liberal” should not be limited to big cities or coast states. We should have a country where everyone is comfortable living anywhere
Jimmy wins my heart every day and every year. What a sweet and good human being. Gracias Jimmy
yes :)
Mauricio Villamil Betancourt right? He’s a good example of a good human.
He is my favourite Late Night Jimmy. He is genuine.
Check him out on The Man Show, you might change your mind.
Not to be negative but I heard him say to, I believe it was Conan O'Brien, that he does not enjoy doing his show at all. I think he said he wished he did enjoy it but that he doesn't and it's basically just a paycheck for him. I wonder if he was just having a bad day or if he really meant that he was faking every episode. Sometimes you can tell he's being fake but a lot of the time he seems genuine, so it's weird to imagine that he wouldn't enjoy doing his job at all.
It's sad that anyone with any chronic medical condition has to jump through hoops just to live. I have Crohns and I know it's totally different than HIV, but it is a nightmare dealing with referrals, medications, reimbursement programs on top of the actual illness. I was 21 and they make it really hard even with insurance.
I thought I wouldn’t like him and I actually fng ADORE him!!! What a just amazing human being!!!! 😍
Eleanor Svenson ... why did you think you wouldn't like JVN?
I think a lot of people are baffled by them at first, but once you realize they are such a positive, amazing person, they love them! (Jonathan doesn’t use he/him-they use they/them)
pearlshaynea wait doesn't jonathan use he/they/she? so all of them are fine? but he's non-binary
I’m really impressed that they gave Jonathan a lot of time to fully taught through this points and this information. I learned a lot and am glad that people who need this information got it from this show. Good job to everyone who gave Jonathan this much time and attention.
Thank you, Jonathan... You are saving valuable lives!
I love him. So educated and so brave to share his story.
this should’ve been an hour long interview 😩
I don't think I could have coped lol he speaks so fast.
So why is he supporting a politican who voted for Reagan? Fraud!

I’ve always LOOOVED Jonathan’s personality
He is literally so brave for coming out and saying this. I’ve had a scare with a different infection and thought my life was going to be over... hearing this is so reassuring.
It’s mind-blowing to think people with HIV in the US have to pay that amount of money for one-month medication. Here in Brazil they can get it for free.
free?
I would rather live in the US than Brazil lol
@@savannahcrowley4299 i mean u can see what he is saying though! Medical care is just really expensive in US
Savannah Crowley that’s not the point. If we’re living in the greatest country in the world, it should not cost $42,000 a year to have access to medicine.

3500 dollars? American Healthcare is outlandish
@Togapower that is a misleading statistic. 90% of Americans pay for healthcare but the majority still can't afford to go due to expensive copays and outlandish deductibles. If you pay for healthcare 100% of all of your needs should be covered and that is not the case. I pay $800 a month for healthcare and still have a $ 5000 deductible if something terrible should happen. All medications,all procedures and all illnesses should be covered without the fear of going bankrupt.
For one pill? That doesn't seem possible. Even for America
I love him. He seems like such a great person and I’m glad he’s sharing his story for others who may be dealing or struggling with this disease.
wow.... what an awesome person! It takes balls to come out to anything, that's viewed "critically"! And to use your voice in such a way is so admirable
So kind and calm personality. I could listen him hours and hours.
He’s so well spoken and impressive. I’m so happy that he has this platform.
You can see how uncomfortable and nervous he is talking about this but he is doing it anyways. Kudos!
Stephen Anna Marydas I don’t think he is....I think he’s super comfortable informing people, it’s kind of what he does.
Anna Molly no I think he is... not insulting him in saying that like I agree with you also, but at this point now he’d probably grab onto antoni or tans hand. Like he’s so strong and courageous to be speaking about this but he’s definitely a little nervous, naturally he is human
He seems very confident about it, in my opinion, because he took the right steps to be healthy and informed. Just like everyone should do.
holy crap medication is so expensive in the States
Medications expensive anywhere without government funding. It's the government making medication more accessible
Oh my Johny, he's just so so special. He will save lives and change the world with this message. So proud of this brave brave man. 💖
Thank you for letting me know this breath of fresh air talk, Jimmy!! Love it when the interviewee gets to talk without being cut off.. especially when it's JVN!!
Oh god I love JVN. He's just so awesome. So intelligent and well spoken and kind. His heart is huge and he's just so inspiring.
Why edit out his entrance?! That’s such a JVN moment!
RIGHT??? I wanted to see the full dress!
Because it's cringey.
Quiz Mite shush :) its not cringe for us, his fans. you’re probably homophobic and are just mad at all the happy comments. he’s such an inspo and so confident abt himself so just shush☺️

thanks for the honesty. you are great Jonathan walk the walk & talk the talk
Jonathan is beautiful inside and out. He is brave and kind and cute and strong. He reminds me to stay kind and strong in this crazy world and to see that we can make a difference as a young generation.
Very educative interview. I wish it could have been longer. I will definitely buy his book to see what else he has to say. Thank you for this interview Jimmy. 😉

Just finished the audiobook and it’s soooo good ✨
"We have to breathe, honey" sounds like a Marianne Williamson campaign slogan
I saw short clips on Instagram, but I needed to watch the full video to educate myself and also to just listen to him talking so passionately about this topic! We need more people to speak out about more stigmatised issues otherwise it is forever unchanged. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for this interview! so important, sending love to jvn!
