Living Positive Fiji is entering a new chapter.

I’m growing, evolving, and taking this work in new directions, with a stronger focus on our youth, women, inclusion, health, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued, regardless of race, gender, s*xuality, status, ability, or background.

New focus. Renewed purpose. Greater impact.

This is only the beginning. I’m excited for what’s ahead. ❤️🇫🇯

PrEP is available in Fiji and Free of cost.

What is PrEP?
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is another option for HIV prevention through using medication either tablets or injections. In Fiji, the tablet form (Oral PrEP) taken daily is now available for HIV-negative individuals.
Where can I access it?

All SRHR/ HIV clinics in Suva,Lautoka & Labasa as well as Medical Services Pacific.

PrEP is 99% effective against HIV infection when taken correctly and should be part of a combination prevention that includes condoms, sterile needles and regular HIV testing. PrEP does not provide protection against other STI’s.

IAS 2026 with HYPE Youth Force was not just a conference I attended, it was a moment that touched my soul and changed me forever.

I came to Brazil as a visitor, but I left carrying memories, friendships, lessons, and a piece of this beautiful country in my heart. I witnessed something truly special: young people from different nations coming together, celebrating each other, supporting one another, and creating a space where everyone could feel seen, heard, and valued.

I went. I observed. I listened. I learned. I loved.

But most importantly, I felt.

I felt the power of community. I felt the strength of our stories. I felt what happens when people come together not because we are the same, but because we understand the importance of standing beside one another.

Being able to show up as my full self, openly gay and living with HIV, was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I did not feel the need to hide any part of who I am. I was welcomed, accepted, and celebrated. In that space, I was reminded that our identities and our journeys are not weaknesses; they are the stories that give us strength.

To the incredible young leaders, activists, advocates, and friends I met from Brazil and around the world: thank you. Thank you for the conversations, the laughter, the kindness, the inspiration, and the moments that will stay with me forever.

Brazil, thank you for having me. You gave me more than a conference experience, you gave me connection, belonging, and memories I will treasure for a lifetime.

I am definitely coming back to Brazil for two reasons: one, to continue celebrating the incredible people and communities that inspired me… and two, there might just be someone special there waiting for me. 🤭

Obrigado, Brazil. Until we meet again. 🇧🇷❤️

Today, I turn 25. 🎂

Birthdays have a funny way of making you reflect. Two years ago, on 1 May 2024, I was diagnosed with HIV. At the time, I thought my life had fallen apart. I never imagined that, at 25, I'd be living well with a viral load of "0", advocating openly, working in a job I love at the Fiji Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and preparing for my first overseas trip to Brazil for AIDS 2026. It's an opportunity I never thought I'd have.

Life has changed in ways I never expected. Last year, I spent an entire year unemployed, wondering what was next. Today, I wake up with purpose, serving my community and representing Fiji on the global stage. HIV didn't end my life, it gave me a new perspective on it.

I've experienced loss, heartbreak, and fear, but I've also found resilience, incredible friendships, and a community that reminds me every day that HIV does not define a person's future.

So, for my birthday, I have one wish: look after your health.Use condoms, they're free at your nearest Local Hub or Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic. If you're HIV-negative and PrEP is right for you, ask about it. Prevention is powerful. (We charge our phones every night... maybe we should put that same energy into protecting ourselves. 😅)

If you're living with HIV, please remember this: your diagnosis is not the end of your story. You can still love, dream, work, travel, and achieve amazing things.

Here's to 25. Here's to breaking stigma. And here's to making HIV testing, condoms, and PrEP as normal as wishing someone a happy birthday.

The best gift you can give yourself is knowing your status and taking care of your health ❤️

Growing up in Fiji, I was taught many things about family, respect, and community. But there were also things we didn’t talk about. Being gay was one of them. HIV was another.

For a long time, I carried both in silence, not because I was ashamed of who I am, but because I was afraid of how others might see me.

This Pride Month, I think of the young person in a village, a settlement, a dormitory, or a church pew, wondering if there is a place for them in this country. Wondering if they can be themselves and still be loved.

I want them to know there is.

As a gay Fijian man living with HIV, my life is not defined by stigma or diagnosis, but by the people who stood beside me, the lessons I’ve learned, and the hope I carry.

I also remember those we lost to AIDS, those who never had the chance to live openly or access the treatment we have today. We honour them by remembering them and continuing the fight against stigma.

Pride, for me, is not about being loud. It is about refusing to disappear.

It is about choosing, every day, to live honestly.

And remember, condoms, care, and consent are not optional. They’re part of pride too.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

HIV does not measure intelligence, morality, or worth. It can affect anyone.

Not every HIV story is about s*x.
Some people are born with it. Some acquire it through medical circumstances. Life is complex, and so are people’s journeys.

So before you judge, pause.

The same words you use to shame someone today could be the same words that break you, or someone you love, tomorrow. Stigma doesn’t protect anyone. It silences, isolates, and pushes people away from testing, treatment, and support.

And words matter more than we think. They can either remind someone that their life still has value… or make them question if it does.

Let’s choose better. Let’s choose compassion over assumptions. Let’s choose facts over stigma.

Because HIV is a condition, not a character flaw.
