Feature Article: Robert Suttle in The Independent – As Told To / Life Stories
Robert Suttle is featured in The Independent’s As Told To / Life Stories series, a first-person journalism format that documents lived experience as a public record of social harm and resilience.
Written in Robert’s own voice and developed through an in-depth interview with journalist Ellie Muir, this piece documents his experience with HIV criminalization—what occurred, the personal and professional costs, and how that experience shaped his leadership and long-term advocacy.
Archived here as part of Robert’s Lived Experience Archive, this article serves as a documented account of the human impact of outdated HIV criminalization laws and the structural conditions that sustain them. It reflects a period of public witnessing that informs—but does not substitute for—his current work focused on systems analysis, policy reform, and institutional accountability.
Archive Note:
This material is archived to document lived experience already shared publicly. Current inquiries should focus on systems analysis, policy strategy, and structural reform.
