This week on Is Our Love we explore the positive side of being positive. Advocate Philipp Speigel shares his personal stories from reliving his HIV diagnosis, depression, and processing to ultimately becoming a speaker and advocate through owning his positive status. Where it was once thought of as a death sentence, treatment and management for HIV has come leaps and bounds. Do you know what undetectable means? How educated are you on HIV transmission? How often are you getting tested snd how often should you? Take it from Lola and probably Schoolhouse Rock: knowledge is power and getting tested is easy and affordable (and often free.) For testing resources in your area just google your local government funded sexual health clinic or Planned Parenthood.

You can find more information about Philipp's art & advocacy at philipp-spiegel.com and on Instagram: @ongoingviral
