Javier Muñoz, who played the title role in Hamilton on Broadway, met with the Project IMPACT program’s support group for young people with HIV at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center on Monday, January 29. With Mr. Muñoz, who is also HIV-positive, the group discussed how they handle daily challenges and how responses to HIV have changed over time.
Mr. Muñoz described how he managed his health while playing the physically demanding role, which he called “an amazing adventure” when he stepped down on January 14. Project IMPACT provides free, comprehensive, confidential health care to young people living with HIV.
