The most personal interview I have ever given about HIV, disclosure, telling my family, childhood trauma and sex– exclusively on thebody.com.
I had forgotten that I did this phone interview in June 2012 with Warren Tong from thebody.com, but their Executive Editor- Olivia Ford, emailed me the other day to notify me that she was going live with the interview. Very cool!
Listen, y’all… this article is LONG as H*LL… because, I wouldn’t shut up… BUT it is one of my favorites because of how personal I was given the opportunity to be. I mean, y’all can read about EVERYTHING in my lil closet.
Check it out, but beware– I spill dirt about myself in this piece and there was no question off limits… thus the article on thebody.com being 5-pages long.

I’ve been living with HIV for little more then 8 years while still in SF and a long time thebody.com reader now working at an HIV/AIDS NGO in Taiwan. I’m really touched by your personal stories and really want to give you a big hug from oversea.
The NGO I work for is Taiwan Lourdes Association (http://www.lourdes.org.tw/Eonepage.asp?menu1=10&menu2=73 ) and every other year we have a 2 days positive gathering conference for the PLWHA here in Taiwan( approximately 100 HIV+ participate in). We always invite one or two openly positive advocator to giving a sharing section at the conference and I think you would be a perfect candidate for the gathering. I just want to know if you might be available to fly all the way here to Taiwan in the future. If so, I will proposed to my director concerning about the invitation.
Anyway, despite all the above, I just want to say “You rock! Josh.” Take good care of yourself and the hope is on the way. ^^
