Title: Tre Melvin reveals he is HIV+
Post by: ATLien on July 17, 2026, 03:22:30 AM
im glad he got himself checked out and has it under control.

gorls PLEASE be safe out here. a little known fact is approximately 50% of gay Black men are affected by this. it is way more common than we want to believe.

and it's not because we're more "more slutty" or "more irresponsible". it is a MULTITUDE of factors that contribute to this - many of which are out of our control (societal/economic), but that's a whole nother topic.

Thankfully for him,  getting HIV is not a death sentence like it used to be.

yes

definitely still something u just dont wanna have to deal with at all, if u can avoid it

but not a death sentence, even though u will have to manage it for the rest of ur life

now i think the biggest danger is being active and not getting urself checked out. cuz modern treatment is really the only thing that stops it from turning into a death sentence

Im not talking about him specifically bc i dont know him or his situation but I gotta say, after a certain age, having unprotected sex should never be an option. It's wreckless and dangerous, unless you're in a relationship of sorts. Dont be out here humping and hunching with nothing more then a verbal confirmation of one's health, please.

I'm not familiar with the gentleman, but, glad he's sharing his story. Thank the lord we have PREP now. If everyone can get on prep, that can put an end to this disease in a generation or two. Not a cure. But the numbers can come way tf down. Everybody take their medicine and prep, we can stomp it out. We just have to all work together and educate the youth.

It's sad to hear gorls still getting HIV. Especially with the options we have for protection these days.

Condoms, PREP, PEP, and now they even have a shot you can get every 6 months. Stay safe y'all.

I'm sorry he got it.
Especially since PreP (if it agrees with your body) can be accessed for free through different resources.
