   <p>An HIV Long-Term Survivor is anyone who was diagnosed with HIV or AIDS before 1996 when the first successful treatment was discovered. Period. Anyone who survived with HIV or AIDS with NO medical treatment, and those who survived HIV before 1996 are the only &quot;long-term survivors&quot;. I have medical training and clinical experience; and was infected in 1984. You should stop giving out false medical information!</p>

      <p>Hi Michael, thanks for contributing to the conversation. I understand and respect your perspective. I think others share similar beliefs as well. In this video, Jah gives a disclaimer that he is not a medical professional nor giving out medical advice, just advocating for adding new voices to a very important conversation. I hope that clears things up! We need people of all ages working together to change the conversation around HIV and to provide support and encouragement! Thank you for sharing your passion with us! -Casey (Team Member)</p>
