I think it's more about taking away the stigma of HIV by openly sharing status, etc
but I do wonder if it's just a bit counterproductive to make it such a grand announcement and reveal
Because that in itself kinda lends to the idea of it being a "big deal" as opposed to taking that "event" feeling away from it
I can't help but think that there's a yearning for publicity behind these announcements sometimes . Kinda like when people "came out" to announce they have COVID . These long dramatic essays typed as they're still fully functional, breathing and not hospitalized ... and posted to social media
obviously An HIV diagnosis is much different but u get what I mean
