Activist Spotlight: Mondo Guerra from Project Runway
Mondo Guerra, the delightful and endearing designer made famous by Project Runway, recently helped bring the Living Positive by Design Project to AIDS Walk Philly. This annual event helps raise money for HIV-related services, while educating the public about the disease. The Living Positive by Design Campaign encourages persons who are HIV positive to commit to maintaining a positive attitude as part of their overall disease management routine.
Mondo himself is HIV positive, yet he exemplifies what a commitment to an attitude of positivity—coupled with a healthy lifestyle—can do. He spent many years keeping his infection secret, as he was afraid to disclose his status. Today, he is a vocal ally in the fight against not only HIV itself, but also the stigma associated with the disease.
