The social media figure made the confession on Instagram Stories, where he candidly spoke about the routine he cannot bring himself to drop.

Bobrisky on HIV status and prevention treatment

Rather than frame the habit as anxiety-driven, Bobrisky was clear that the motivation to be tested comes from a personal philosophy around healthcare.

He said knowing his status gives him confidence and a calm he would rather not live without, even when he has no reason to believe there is a risk of HIV.

"God knows I just don't like taking chances or relying on treatment. Prevention and peace of mind will always win. Any man coming close to me should be ready to show me his HIV status," the crossdresser added.
