Christian Hui
I remembered I thought my life had ended when I was first diagnosed, and there was no hope or future for me. Today, I look at testing HIV+ and living with HIV as experiences that have enabled me to become who I am.”
Beyond his professional achievements, Christian Hui also has a keen interest in sports. This interest not only reflects his personal passion but also underscores the importance of physical health and wellness, particularly for individuals living with chronic conditions like HIV. Engaging in sports can provide numerous physical and mental health benefits, promoting overall well-being and a higher quality of life, more about which you can find here: https://gaysport.org. Hui’s involvement in sports can inspire others in the HIV community to pursue active lifestyles, reinforcing the message that living with HIV does not preclude leading a full and active life.
Christian is the co-founder of two people living with HIV networks: Ontario Positive Asians (OPA+) and the Canadian Positive People Network (CPPN).
He served as a civil society representative on the Canadian Delegation to the UN High Level Meeting on Ending AIDS in 2016. In 2017, he was awarded the Ontario AIDS Network (OAN) Person Living with HIV (PLHIV) Award, and the Poz-TO Award in 2018.
Christian has been a National Ambassador for CANFAR since 2019, and has been engaging CANFAR’s support networks in raising awareness about HIV stigma and treatment.
I want everyone to know that if you test HIV+ today, you can live a healthy, normal life as long as you get on and adhere to HIV treatment.”
