Sex, intimacy, and relationships don’t end after an HIV diagnosis—but the stigma surrounding it is still holding people back.

This week on Daring Discussions, I’m joined by LaDeia Joyce, an advocate and educator who is changing the narrative around HIV, pleasure, and self-worth. We’re talking about what it really means to navigate love, dating, and sex while living with HIV, and why the conversation needs to change.

In this episode, we break down:
✔️ The truth about U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable)
✔️ The impact of HIV stigma on relationships and mental health
✔️ The challenges and realities of disclosure when dating
✔️ How faith and sexuality can coexist after a diagnosis

This conversation is necessary, insightful, and full of real talk. Whether you’re living with HIV or just want to be more informed, this episode is for you. Hit play and let’s break the stigma together.

Let’s talk about it—your attachment style is absolutely showing up in your sex life, whether you realize it or not.

Are you someone who craves closeness and reassurance after sex? Or do you pull away when things start feeling too intimate? Maybe you’re out here wondering why you always seem to attract the same type of partner.

This week on Daring Discussions, I’m sitting down with a relational trauma therapist to break down how our attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—shape the way we experience intimacy. We’re getting into childhood wounds, emotional safety, and what it actually takes to build healthy sexual and emotional connections.

Because listen, sis—understanding yourself is the first step to healing your patterns. And we’re doing that work together. Hit play, take some notes, and let’s grow!
