Not that Im Korean.
Im Taiwanese, but I dont discriminate against any Asian food.
All Asian foods life matters!
Then, the doctor came in.
I thought, Thats new.
It was always just a nurse with soggy eye bags, big enough to carry a baby kangaroo.
Then, bam, Your HIV result came back positive.
Now, lets not worry about Asian foods life, but MY life.
That day was Feb 4th, 2021.
While everyone was catching COVID left and right, I, ever the nonconformist, snagged HIV instead.
It was like choosing the road less traveled by viruses.
I blurted out, Am I gonna die?
I knew HIV wasnt a death sentence with todays meds, but I needed that verbal reassurance.
I needed to double check.
I just want to double check!
The doctors blunt Yeah.
Youre gonna die.
The doctor continued, You are not Captain America.
You are gonna die.
Just not from HIV, as long as you take one pill every single day.
I cant even keep up with my daily journal!
Before I hung up, I asked him, Would you give me one more kiss before I die?
Alright, if you believe I actually said that, then you are a hopeless romantic.
I immediately got on HIV medication.
Within two months, by April 2021, my HIV viral load had dropped to the undetectable level.
What does that mean?
Yes, it rhymes.
I feel like a rapper.
You guys are people.
I am a homosexual.
Condoms are always encouraged because you’re free to still get other STDs.
Like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or diarrhea.
I told you I am a rapper.
So, telling people Im HIV positive is like coming out of the closet all over again.
Are people gonna judge me?
Are they gonna unfollow me on Instagram?
you might judge me, but hey dont unfollow me!
I want the attention!
In the world of gay sex, there is this phrase, Are you clean?
Gay people ask this question a lot before having sex.
which means Do you have any STDs?
People with HIV are not dirty.
People who wear the same underwear for a week are dirty.
Well, I guess people love vulnerability.
So, I thank HIV for giving me comedy materials.
Now I wonder what other disease I should get to have more comedy materials.
But, remember, kids, comedy aside, take your meds.
