“I am Terrence. I’m HIV positive. I have dementia, Parkinson’s and a mental illness. I have good days and bad days. I persevere – I try to keep a happy smile on my face. I started writing poetry at the age of 13 and I’m still going full blast. I write about love, boyfriends and life.”

‘In 1991 I discovered I was HIV. Totally changed, totally destroyed, totally made it good sometimes. Life is always in the dark. Seen a lot of friends die in the hospital RPA St Vincents. Two of my partners passed away of AIDS. Never to old to get AIDS.’
