For all of us living with HIV there is often a worry about telling someone about our HIV status. Do we tell partners, will they react in a caring, loving way, or will it mean the end of a relationship?

Instinct Magazine has recently highlighted a new Public Service Announcement made by the Impulse Group. teaming up with Tastemaker, John Saint-Denis of the Advisorie Group, to film a short highlighting the journey from a break up to knowing one’s HIV status to communicating that status to others. And of course, love and compassion prevail.

Writing for Instinct Magazine, Nigel Campbell (not my cousin) wrote:
