At the time, she was 23 and in her first intimate relationship. She kept her diagnosis a secret from everyone except her brother out of fear of being stigmatized. Listen to her story on this episode and remember that prevention is better than cure. Practice safe sex: get tested for STIs/HIV and wear condoms.
