The 14-person team was working to open June’s, a unique pop-up restaurant in Toronto that is the world’s first eatery in which all of the kitchen staff are HIV positive. The idea of a restaurant was born out of a recent poll that suggested only half of Canadians would knowingly share or eat food prepared by someone who is HIV positive. “There were a lot of questions about what happens if somebody cuts themselves in the kitchen and they’re HIV positive,” said Simons. Now 52, he was diagnosed 27 years ago and has been HIV positive for more than half of his life. “Try and get a date when you’re HIV positive,” he said.
