In an interview with The New York Times, Jonathan Van Ness revealed he is HIV-positive.
In the interview, he said it’s “hard for me to be as open as I want to be when there are certain things I haven’t shared publicly,” adding, “These are issues that need to be talked about.”
“That day was just as devastating as you would think it would be,” he said about the day he found out he was HIV-positive when he was just 25 years old.
With his upcoming memoir, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self Love, Jonathan wants to “shatter misconceptions” people have about HIV because he is healthy and a proud “member of the beautiful H.I.V.-positive community”.
