The only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.

I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.

When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.

At the time [I was diagnosed], it was a white man's gay disease,

The first year was hard for me to deal with. The second year was a little bit easier, but still difficult. It took me five years to get it out of me. It was a difficult moment, a difficult time.

As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time.
