His prepublication interviews present a candid reckoning focused on destigmatizing care around mental and sexual health.

  • He says he has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and is now stabilizing after early medication challenges.
  • Gage recounts contracting two treatable STIs from an unfaithful partner and says the experience prompted stricter testing habits.
  • He notes he takes daily PrEP and has partnered with Gilead to raise awareness of HIV testing and prevention.
  • The forthcoming memoir details family addiction and gambling; he says his mother felt she had "failed," and he chose not to tone down the book despite career concerns.
