'Queer Eye' star Jonathan Van Ness opens up about decision to reveal HIV diagnosis

Jonathan Van Ness has opened up about his decision to reveal that he is HIV-positive and what it was like to receive his life-changing diagnosis seven years ago.

“I just remember it was the moment that you dread hearing. It’s the thing that I had feared,” he told Hoda Kotb on TODAY Tuesday in his first television interview since revealing to The New York Times that he’s living with HIV.

“I was born in 1987, growing up in the midst of HIV/AIDS crisis, and … we lost an entire generation of people.”

The hairdresser and star of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” made a decision to share a host of private details and traumatic events from his past in his new memoir, “Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love.”
