“ You know what, HIV? There are many things I still want to accomplish and you are not going to stop me.” L'Orangelis - San Juan, PR Living with HIV since 1988. HIV TREATMENT WORKS I was born with HIV so I don’t know what a life without HIV is like. There was a period of time where I did not take medicine, but I decided to get back on treatment and seek medical care. I am motivated now to stay healthy because there are so many things I still want to accomplish. I have a whole life to look forward to and an opportunity to be a role model for other young people. Get in care. Stay in care. Live well. cdc.gov/HIVTreatmentWorks
