Danny Roberts on The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans, reeducating his peers about HIV and more

The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans star Danny Roberts sat down with GLAAD's Vice President of Communications & Talent, Anthony Allen Ramos, to discuss his legacy, and his reuniting with all of his original castmates. "At this stage in [my] life it was probably the last thing on the radar expected to happen. I think for all of us it was a really special moment in time when it happened for us that we had all really tucked away," says Roberts.

Roberts went on to share how revisiting the show, and reuniting with his castmates gave him an opportunity to reeducate his peers and the public on HIV. On U=U, the scientific principle that states "people with HIV who achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load ... cannot sexually transmit the virus to other," Roberts shared: "I forget now that a majority of the population does not understand that if you’re HIV positive and you’re treated you essentially cannot transmit the virus. A big part of what motivated me to be confident and be public about this a few years ago was the fact that scientists had just gotten to a point of confidence in actually publicly stating the declaration. So that gave me a lot of confidence, and gave me a driver to sort of help other people to understand that fact."
