A post shared by Zachary (@zacharywillmore)When Zach Willmore was diagnosed with HIV this February, he thought his life was over.
But the 19-year-old influencer soon learned that thanks to modern medicine, he could still live a rich and full life, even while HIV-positive.
Lucky for us, Willmore chose to share his story with the world, and now, he documents his life for 1.9 million followers on TikTok.
Willmore’s content shows what it looks like to live with HIV in 2023, and spoiler alert: the future looks bright.“When I started recording my journey with getting diagnosed with HIV, it was honestly for myself,” Willmore told Queerty earlier this year. “Then after the fact, after I kind of got a grasp of it and was healing myself, I was starting to think, like, a lot of people are also going through this, don’t have as good of a support system, don’t have as large of a support system as I do.
