Every year on December 1st, the community joins together to combat HIV and AIDS, show support for those who have been diagnosed, and remember those who have died as a result of the disease. The activism began in 1988, and it has now been 33 years.

For this special edition of BAKSTORY on #OnlyBAKS, we'll listen and learn about Dark(@88darklight88) & Coffee's (@lovecoffeelight ) incredible POZ journey and how they met online.

It's acceptable to fall down, to feel tired, but please continue and constantly KEEP GOING. Keep going for another day, as Darklight wants to send the message to the PLHIV community.

Coffee also stated that we wish to continue to foster a culture of helping one another, particularly to the newly diagnosed, and to reach out to as many people as possible.

May we learn from them how to live a positively and love ourselves and others authentically.
