- After the devastating loss of his partner to cancer and HIV and the subsequent rejection by his partner’s family, Tarik Daniels fell into a deep and debilitating depression. Though he was eventually able to right his course, his own HIV diagnosis almost a decade later would briefly send him back to that experience of watching his partner die. Thankfully, with the help of art, therapy, and calling on his ancestors Tarik chose a different tack - opening up about his own status to combat HIV-related deaths among Black queer youth and bring visibility to the poz community.

So sorry for your loss and for you contracting hiv. It's awesome that you are using your story to help all the others in need of a beacon of light, strength, and hope.
I've been living with HIV also. I've had it since I was 19. I'm 38 now and it's like I'm waking up to the bitter realization that I didnt plan for much of a future back then. In a lot of ways I feel like I'm starting in life which can be exciting!
Why so many dislikes? That's quite a good story!
I was wondering the same thing 🤔 Just haters I guess!
Great story. Sorry about your loss. I wish you the best of luck with your health and life, in general.
SO GLAD YOU TOOK THAT NEGATIVE AND MADE IT A LIFE CHANGING POSITIVE. EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH.
You're attitude and genuine honesty are awesome! You're a wonderful inspiration for others!
Sorry for your loss and the way you were treated by his family. You're an inspiration.
You are an inspiration! I’m so proud of my young queer brothers & sisters, you are an inspiration to others. Thank you.

Baby baby baby. Bless you. I am so sorry you had to go through all this. But you are ok. Sounds that you are in a good place. Happy New Year. Just lovin on you. Peace.
Amazing guy.
Why use the word "queer" when the title already calls him gay? It's just a word with so much baggage
To desensitize the word and just own it.
Because the government wants people to look at others trying to be different as crazy so they make up all these words to make people not want to talk to you or be around you, it sucks and also I was wondering some people say that we have Ebola in our anus from poop and stuff and that’s why we wipe from top to bottom so we don’t infect could that maybe be a reason that they get aids or hiv a lot. ( sorry for asking just curious and don’t really know about that)
God Bless you. I am happy that you are ok. Take one day at a time.
Remember to always put God first.
