I do not regret anything. If I had to go back in time and do something different, I would not do anything different. I would do everything the same.” When Avelino came out his family, his father was outraged. Things changed though, as Avelino explains: "The whole family had a meeting, in a weird way, a big confusion and everyone, brothers, nephews, everyone revolted against my father ‘He is everything, he works hard in school, he works hard in athletics... What difference does it make?’ I still get emotional when I remember that my father sat with us, apologized and asked him [Neston] to live with us.” // In Mozambique more than a third of gay men have HIV, but, because of stigma, many don’t have access to care. New hope comes in the form of a program that will test thousands and train LGBTQI+ people to test their peers confidentially, in their own homes. // This portrait is part of a series of stories from Kenya, Mozambique and Ghana currently being shared at the 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It was made in collaboration with the Elton John AIDS Foundation (@ejaf @ejafdn) who have helped continue the @Whereloveisillegal campaign that shares LGBTQ+ stories of survival and raises awareness of the impacts of stigma. Around the world, grants made by the Elton John AIDS Foundation make possible the work of countless community-rooted organizations that touch the lives of millions every day.
