‘Pose’ Star Billy Porter Reveals He’s Been Living With HIV

Tony, Emmy and Grammy-winning actor and singer Billy Porter reveals he has been living 14 years with HIV.

Porter opens up about his HIV-positive diagnosis in a new exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I was trying to have a life & a career, and I wasn’t certain I could if the wrong people knew. It would just be another way for people to discriminate against me in an already discriminatory profession.”

Porter discussed his outlook on the future, adding that his T-cell count is healthy, he goes to the doctor every three months, he feels “the healthiest” he’s been in his entire life, and he feels that he’s “so much more than that diagnosis.”
