Dad aims to break down HIV stigma with one picture

Arizona father of three, Andrew Pulsipher wants to change the way you look at HIV. So he took to Facebook to break down these walls.

Pulsipher, 33, was born with the HIV virus, passed down to him from his parents. Both of his parents died from AIDS shortly after he was born.

In his May 10 Facebook post, he says he grew up very rarely telling people that he was HIV positive. Only few family members and a few close friends knew. He wanted to live as normal a childhood as possible.

Fast forward 33 years, Pulsipher is a husband and father of three. He wants people to know that you can still live a normal life with HIV.

Pulsipher has taken a variety of medication combinations over the years and stresses the importance of seeking treatment early. He says that everyone's body reacts differently to different drugs, and he is lucky that his are working and his disease is currently "undetectable."

One thing's for sure. Pulsipher's family doesn't look at him as HIV positive...They just look at him as "dad," the man that they love.

Here's what celebrities are doing to help the cause:
