Share your story
Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.
My HIV Story was created to be a space where people living with HIV can show up honestly—without fear, without judgment, and without pressure to explain themselves.
This is a community rooted in respect, confidentiality, and choice. You are welcome to share, listen, ask questions, or simply observe. There is no “right” way to be here.
Some stories on this platform are public by choice. This space is private by design.
Please take a moment to review the community agreement so we can protect the safety and dignity of everyone here.
Thank you for trusting this space—and yourself.
You belong here.
— Linda Pearl Founder, My HIV Story
“You’re not alone”
Reading the stories of others can be a powerful reminder that you're not navigating this journey in isolation. Our community is built on shared experiences and mutual support. We want you to know: “You’re not alone.”
“This is a safe space”
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. This community is committed to providing a secure environment where you can share your story without fear of judgment or discrimination. This is a safe space led by a leader with empathy and experience in confidence building.
“Your story, your pace”
We understand that sharing your story is a deeply personal decision. There's no pressure to disclose anything you're not comfortable with. You are in control of what you share and when you share it. “Your story, your pace.”
