From a young age, Dominic loved to tell stories. And when you look at his picture, you don’t see the disease that would impact him.

When Dominic first received his HIV diagnosis, he carried his worry alone, concerned about what his future would look like. He kept his diagnosis private and struggled with the fear and isolation that HIV creates for far too many people. And while Dominic was finding the strength to move forward, science was moving forward, too.

Today, Dominic is an award-winning actor, writer, and advocate. Because people chose to invest in HIV cure research, Dominic has the chance to tell the stories that often go untold — the ones that remind people living with HIV that they are worthy, they are seen, and they belong.
