HIV Heroes Speak on Depression and Isolation Felt by HIV Community
In Episode 3 of HIV Heroes, we meet two advocates using their gifts and personal stories to better the lives of members of the HIV community.
We catch up with Deondre Moore and Jade Elektra while at the 24th International AIDS Conference in Montreal — better known as AIDS 2022 — the world’s largest gathering on HIV and AIDS, to learn about their work and what drives them.Deondre Moore discusses his role as Director of U.S.
Partnerships and Community Engagement with the Prevention Access Campaign — ”the official organization that launched the U=U, or undetectable equals untransmittable, movement.” In his role, Moore works to engage different communities all over the U.S.
to join the U=U movement, which is helping to dismantle HIV stigma. At the age of 19 while in college, Moore began to share his story after his diagnosis.
