plus talk

One proud papa is using social media to combat HIV stigma — and it's working. 

This week's episode of +Talk, +Life Media's flagship chat show hosted by ABC journalist and HIV advocate Karl Schmid, features social media personality Jeremy Hyvärinen, a.k.a. "Positively Jeremy," and his husband Michael Meehan.

During the conversation, the couple opens up about what's like like being a serodiscordant couple (Jeremy is HIV-positive, Michael is HIV-negative) as well as gay dads.

In the clip below, the husbands also discuss the reactions of other parents and neighbors after Jeremy went public about living with HIV. CLICK HERE to watch the complete video on +Life's website
