Joshua W. Robbins was born on January 12, 1983, in Jackson, Tennessee. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism, advertising, and marketing from Middle Tennessee State University. Before his own HIV diagnosis, Robbins was actively involved in raising HIV awareness within the LGBT community and fundraising for Nashville CARES, an AIDS service organization.

His early career included work as a talent agent, and he is the owner and operator of BNA Talent Group, which has niche divisions for actors, hosts, and children. He also founded The BRANDagement at BNA Talent Group, a division focusing on brand management.
In January 2012, Robbins received his HIV diagnosis, a turning point that led him to publicly share his status and dedicate his professional efforts to HIV activism. He posted a video on YouTube detailing his diagnosis after having revealed his HIV status on Facebook. This marked the beginning of his role as an HIV/AIDS activist, blogger, and social media marketer. In 2012, he launched his blog, imstilljosh.com, which combines factual reporting with personal narratives to engage and inform individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Robbins’ work aims to reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS through education and advocacy using digital and social media platforms.
Throughout his career, Robbins has developed several initiatives and tools to support the HIV community. In 2014, he introduced “HIV Video Minute with Josh Robbins,” a digital video series licensed to HIV+ magazine. That same year, he self-published an e-book titled “HIV Won’t Kill Me: Encouragement eBook” and “Social Media Is Not Prison, So Unlock Yourself: Tips from a Social Media HIV Activist.” He also created the “Ask HIV” iPhone application, designed to serve as an HIV/AIDS hotline. Robbins was named to the POZ 100 List in 2013 and received the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association “Excellence in Journalism” Award for blogging in 2018. In 2018, he became the national spokesperson for DatingPositives.com, further expanding his reach in patient advocacy.
