As part of GCN & HIV Ireland’s LIVING exhibition, we spoke to the faces behind the portraits – meet Jordi.
“I was diagnosed when I was 18 and my diagnosis was really traumatic. Not for the diagnosis itself but the way it was done.
“They have the information already so they don’t have to suffer as much as I did. There is nothing they cannot do in their lives.
“Since I was diagnosed I travelled to hundreds of cities, countries. I have done everything that I wanted. I’ve travelled, I’ve worked, I did sport. It helped me grow personally. So it made me grow up. It’s a learning. Don’t be afraid of it.”
You can experience this unique portrayal of people LIVING with HIV in Ireland, until December 17 at CHQ Dublin and find out more in GCN’s December issue 369.
