Randy Davis is a self-proclaimed ‘accidental activist.’ He is currently a Community Mobilizer with REACH Nexus and offers expert training, policy advising, and community engagement strategies to help organizations create impactful and inclusive HIV initiatives through InclusHIV Consulting.

Diagnosed HIV positive in February of 2015, after being hospitalized for ‘flu-like symptoms’, it was Randy’s initial reaction to his diagnosis that led him to this life of activism he lives today. ‘I was in such a dark place and thought no one would ever love me again….I looked at the pictures of my parents, brothers, and children hanging on the wall and a light went off in my head at that moment, and I told myself I had way too much to live for in this world. The idea of not being around to watch my daughters grow up and accomplish whatever they wanted to. I knew I didn’t want to miss any of it.’

As coordinator at Gilbert Centre for Social and Support Services/InclusHIV Care Clinic and an Ontario AIDS Network(OAN) board member, Randy is making a difference in the fight against HIV in Canada, every day. As the host and producer of “Let’s Be Perfectly Queer” a monthly segment on Rogers TV Barrie celebrates inclusion, equality, love and support in the LGBTQ+ community. Randy educates on topics such as health and wellness, family challenges, relationships, the reality of life, sexual identity, and so much more. As a brand ambassador for ViiV Healthcare and now the newest ambassador for CANFAR, it’s Randy’s mission to be a part of the end of HIV in Canada.
