Valentine’s Day is a time to shower the ones we love with an extra bit of adoration and attention. Get the chocolates, get the flowers, take some time for you and your beloved human — but before you do all that, make sure you both are being proactive about your sexual health, too.

Here to chat with us about one aspect of sexual health is Dimitri Joseph Möise.

Dimitri is a lifelong activist and social entrepreneur dedicated to the liberation of all people through storytelling, transformative justice, and strategic design. As President of S.P.L. INC, Dimitri spearheads executive teams, businesses & organizations to create sustainable ecosystems of equity, inclusion, peer-to-peer mentorship, and civic engagement. As a national HIV advocate & spokesperson, Dimitri renews the lives of people all across the world — through his words, talks, and partnerships, most recently with Walgreens.

Here he took the time to sit with me and chat about what it means to be an HIV advocate, what he wishes people understood about HIV, and how partners and individuals can get access to PrEP:

Do you think we underappreciate our personal health?
