In the first episode of "Pulang Laso" (Positive), a Filipino-Australian who is gender-fluid and has been living positively with HIV for seven years Emil Cañita shares that HIV is no barrier to live a full life, especially since it only needs one pill daily for medical maintenance.

HIV is life-changing but no longer a death sentence. Positive is a series focused on those living with the virus, the medical advancements that allow them to thrive, and the debate over why an HIV diagnosis remains a grey area in Australian migration.
