Miranda’s Story
Interviewer VO:
Hey Miranda.
Miranda VO:
Hi!
Interviewer VO:
Can I steal you away for a little bit?
Miranda VO:
Yeah, one second.
Husband VO:
Sweetheart, I’ll go get a table.
Miranda VO:
Ok honey. Hey sis, what’s up?
Interviewer VO:
Thanks so much for taking time to chat. Why don’t you start by telling us a little bit about yourself?
Miranda VO:
My name is Miranda. I am 28 years old. No, I’m not though. (Laughter) I’m just playing, girl. I’m 38. And, um yeah, I have a loving family. I am married and I have two beautiful fur babies, Munchie and Moose.
Interviewer VO:
Adorable. Now I want to talk a little bit about your journey with HIV if that’s alright.
Miranda VO:
Yes, of course. I was diagnosed really young, at the age of 14. I came out to my family as a trans woman. And luckily, my mother took it very kindly. She was very accepting. But unfortunately, she was with a partner and that partner was very homophobic and he did not like it. I just wanted to find love and nurture and support, but I found it in all the wrong places. So I went on with my life, doing what I had to do to survive, which led to me becoming HIV positive.
Interviewer VO:
Thanks for sharing that. What was it like once you started daily oral therapy?
Miranda VO:
Stressful. (Laughs) There were times where I forgot to take my HIV pills. I’m living life and I get a little busy and you just forget. I’m human, I’m not perfect. The only thing that really stressed me out outside of the pills was knowing that they were around. And, you know, I like to host. But unfortunately, sometimes having a bottle in your medicine cabinet, you know, it just gives you away. People don’t understand how heavy a pill could be at times. I just kept carrying the burden of being HIV positive. So it made it really hard sometimes to be on oral medication for me.
Interviewer VO:
How did you find out about CABENUVA?
Miranda VO:
I work in the prevention sector for HIV, so I like to always understand medicine and what they’re for. And it just dawned on me, like you know, here I am advocating for other individuals living with HIV—what about me? I came to a conclusion that I am worth it. I am loved. And I am wanted. And I’m important. And here comes along an injectable option. And it works best for me!

Interviewer VO:
So what might you say to a doctor who’s a little reluctant to prescribe CABENUVA to their patients?
Miranda VO:
Well, first, it’s not about you, baby, it’s not. It’s about your patient. Not all of us are cut the same. I feel it’s important as a provider to take a step back and think about the patients that would benefit from CABENUVA and why they would benefit from CABENUVA. So allow your patients to have that option. Give them that freedom.
Interviewer VO:
So how do you feel now that you’ve made the switch to CABENUVA?
Miranda VO:
Switching to CABENUVA was absolutely worth it. You know, I’m able to focus on other more important things like my career, my love life, my family, and not having to be pulled back to popping open a bottle every night.
SUPER:
This is Miranda’s unique experience.

Interviewer VO:
Can you tell us a little bit about your life now with your husband? We’ll let you get back to him soon, I promise.
Miranda VO:
I remember when I met this man. And it was honestly sparks at first sight. So my husband is honestly my best friend. He’s the one that makes me laugh; he gives me a reason to get up in the morning. He makes life worth living.
SUPER:
With CABENUVA, shift Miranda’s focus to date night
