HIV.  Turns out, it's not that bad.  In today's episode we talk to Kelly Gluckman, a 32 year old activist living with HIV. Diagnosed in her 20's, Kelly has turned a heartbreaking diagnosis into a passion to educate. We talk about how she contracted the virus, the coping mechanism that saved her live and the major role Planned Parenthood played in her journey.  Oh ya, plus we drank. A lot.  To follow Kelly's journey, follow her on Instagram @KellyGluckman.
