Living with HIV since 1996, I began my journey as a Volunteer within the HIV Prevention Programs at BIENESTAR Human Services. A few months later, I was hired to work for BIENESTAR under the Shaman Retreat Program, recruiting gay and bisexual men to participate in the retreat. I became an HIV testing counselor in 2004 and have been providing HIV testing services since then at different HIV organizations. Currently, I work at The Wall/Las Memorias as a Senior Project Coordinator.
