This is Joel’s Story

Two Melbourne men tell their stories of what life is like living with HIV.

Their uninterrupted narrative delivers a powerful message to HIV negative men who are increasingly fucking without condoms.

Importantly, their stories combining crystal meth, sexual exploration and sexually transmissible infections including HEP C, shed light on what really happens in the lives of our gay men; our community; our Melbourne.

Just 18 months ago, Joel was 25 and discovered he was HIV+. Six months later, his doctors revealed that he was one of 39 HIV+ Melbourne men who had contracted hep C through sexual transmission. What followed is harrowing.

These are the stories never heard, but they are stories they wanted told…for those who will listen.
