Actor Adrian Lindayag shares his journey of bravery and fighting stigma after testing positive for HIV. He is set to portray Angel in the musical 'Rent,' which tackles the struggles of young creatives battling HIV/AIDS.

MANILA, Philippines — Actor Adrian Lindayag bared how testing positive for HIV set him on a path of bravery and fighting the stigma against the disease ahead of his return to the stage.

In "Rent," Angel is a drag queen and percussionist with AIDS, something that Adrian himself relates to on a personal level. Despite no prior experience as an actor, Adrian quit his corporate job to fully commit to a decision that ultimately changed his life. Adrian later said that his loved ones have known of his HIV-positive diagnosis and that he felt safe sharing it with his "Rent" castmates.

"Inspired ako sa story ni Angel dahil Angel lived a full life and loved fully even with HIV, 'yan ang gusto ko isabuhay din," Adrian ended.
