Thank you so much Asian Boss for sharing my story as gay Muslim and HIV+ in my country Indonesia. I hope through this video most people would more understand about this issue and we could care each other.

As an Indonesian, I can't say enough how brave he is to come out like this. People here still heavily stigmatize those who are gay and/or have HIV, and i admire the strength he has to be public about his illness and sexuality. I wish him good luck and good health so that he can achieve whatever he wants to achieve!

This guy sure has a positive attitude. And he’s right, now he knows who his real friends are. Props out to adiba.

My older brother was HIV positive. He was gay too. I kinda hoped he would find someone like you because he always felt alone and disowned by my parents, until the day he passed away since he refused medications. But the reason is more of all the judgements. I am straight, but I respect humanity, whether gay, lesbian, trans, whatever. Congrats to Acep Gates, and hopefully this can help people to think and perceive things in a broader way. I'm also from Indonesia, so I understand everything you point out.

Wait, so the guy who knew and transmitted HIV didn't tell him and already passed away? Damn...

bless to the friends who stayed with him regardless of his sexuality and him having hiv those are really true friends, he seems really positive i hope he lives a comfortable life and stays happy

Only you guys are brave enough to touch this kind of topic in indonesia, that's true journalism right there 👍

when the survivor is more scared than the upcoming stigmas than the actual medication says a lot about our country

Who’s here after Watching ramzy with the Asian boss korea team🙏🏻🇵🇭❤️

Asian Boss is killing it, these stories are fantastic because they allow the interviewee to speak for themselves and speak freely. Excellent journalism 👍

as an indonesian my self, his courage to came out of the closet like this truly surprises me, considering how the mindset of some people in this country works. i'd truly wish him goodluck and always be healthy. go achieve what you want!

Good friends dont judge, dont leave you when things get tough. Thats something social media cant filter

This is indeed a sad story. Take care and long live Acep. I truly appreciate your courage and determination. Off course big fat thanks to Asian Boss team to bring out this interesting story.

Knowing my fellow Indonesian, I expected the comment section to be simply horrid. Really glad and impressed to see such positivity! Keep it up, guys!

There's no standardized sex-ed in Indonesia. I got mine from a biology teacher who thought this is a serious topic which should be discussed. Kudo to him.

Ketika kita bicara tentang kemanusiaan kita menjadi : open mind

Banyak kena HIV karena banyak seks yang dilakukan tanpa pengetahuan akan seks yang aman

As a gay living in China I can somehow relate to that. Being HIV+ is no longer a serious problem physically, but judgments from peers, potential employers, even family members can be overwhelming in a relatively conservative society. I guess Asia is generally like that.

As a fellow Indonesian I have no problem in hanging out with gays or HIV+ or anything.. as long as you can respect my space, and will also respect your space. People have conditions and circumstances that beyond their control. God teaches us to love and respect others, and so I did as such.

i used to work at a hospital and there was one guy that walked in confused and nervous and he was asking about hiv testing. props to that guy even if it caused him great anxiety he put his health forward first.
