Joshua Middleton Returns more Pozitive Hope

POZ I AM Radio

This Sunday April 2, Robert and Aaron will be speaking with activist Joshua Middleton . Josh has sat down with us before in 201. A lot has happened in 3 years and Joshua has been making big waves in the HIV community, So we invited him back to hear what all the fuss is about. Here is a little about Joshua in his own words. When I heard the words “You are HIV Positive,” in June of 2012, time itself seemed to have stopped. It was as if I was seeing my whole life flash before my eyes and I was a simple bystander on the sidelines left with no control of the situation but to watch. My mind and body wanted to stay strong, but how can one expect to do so when receiving such news ? To call it a traumatic experience would be an understatement, it was a diagnosis that would forever change my life. As someone who is a heterosexual male that wasn’t in what is considered a “high risk” group, it seemed as if contracting HIV would be the least of my worries. After all, HIV wasn’t something that happened to someone like me but to someone else, I told myself, right? I mean, I was getting tested on a regular basis just as a precaution so in my mind testing was prevention, however, I failed to realize I wasn’t doing anything to change my risk level when having sex. Join us live at 2pm EST to hear all of Joshua's story.
