💨 Abstract

In October 2005, the author experienced a severe dizziness and blackout at a pub. A stranger offered help, but the author woke up the next day with memory loss, physical signs of assault, and later discovered they had been raped and tested positive for HIV due to Rohypnol usage. The author faced stigma, health struggles, and emotional trauma but eventually found support, created a one-man show about their experiences, and became an HIV activist.
