HIV, Medicine, Personal Journals, Sexuality

This week, we’re joined by the incredible Clint Dowdell. From navigating his coming out journey to his HIV diagnosis, Clint opens up about the challenges, triumphs, and the ongoing stigma that still exists today. But don’t expect a sob story—this conversation is raw, real, and full of heart. With honesty and humor, Clint reminds us that life is best lived authentically, and that vulnerability is its own kind of superpower.

If you’re searching for your HIV community, you’ve found it here. Tune in for an episode that’s as eye-opening as it is uplifting!
