“My name is Avelino I am 24 years old, I come here to tell my story. When I was 22 years old I found out that I am seropositive, I have HIV.  It was a scare, I did not expect it. I told my mother, until now I suffer prejudice because I am a youngster who has chosen a different style of life. I am homosexual, some people know and others don’t. Since I was a child I felt something different, I did not feel any interest in women, when I was 12 years old I had my first sexual relation with a man. I tried to have sex with women but was not successful. Since then and regarding my work I act as a healer, I started because I was sick and until today I help people including from LGBT.”
