He says he is speaking now to break the stigma around HIV, hoping the disclosure encourages others to come forward.

Overview

  • He said the decision is intended to combat prejudice and help others, citing that many people with HIV have not shared their status due to stigma.
  • A feature documentary produced by Jordi Évole for Atresmedia and Producciones del Barrio, directed by Màrius Sànchez and Lluís Galter, is slated for theatrical release in 2026.
  • The film, shot this autumn, will include conversations with his doctor, nurse, close collaborators and friends, offering a personal account of his experience.
