Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Living with HIV can bring up layered experiences around disclosure, dating, intimacy, stigma, health anxiety, and identity. You may be navigating questions like: When do I share? Who is safe? How do I build connection without fear leading the way? Therapy can be a space to process these realities without shame or urgency.
As a queer, immunocompromised clinician, I hold deep respect for the resilience within the HIV/AIDS community and the complexity of living at the intersection of health and identity. Together, we can explore disclosure conversations, relationship dynamics, medical trauma, internalized stigma, and cultivating intimacy rooted in empowerment rather than fear. Your status is one part of your story, not the whole of who you are.

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
I work with many clients with HIV in the Gay community, and I appreciate not only the challenges we have known since the 1980's and the massive achievement of Dr. Ho's "cocktail", but also the frequency with which my clients live long and healthy lives with an undetectable viral load.
