Watch: HIV-Positive Sailor Talks About Surviving Sexual Assault in Military

U.S. Navy Sailor Christopher Brewer endured a brutal six-hour sexual assault, which led to his HIV-positive diagnosis. But, as he told Josh Robbins, the popular poz blogger behind imstilljosh.com, one of the worst parts of the whole experience was how the Navy treated him after he reported the assualt.

That experience has transfromed Brewer into an activist who swears to continue fighting until the mistreatment of sexual assault victims ends. He's found sharing his own story to be an empowering experience that can not only help other survivors but fix a system that re-victimizes sexual assault survivors. 

Here's Brewer's story as told to Robbins.
