History

The song was originally made for personal use as a healing process for DJ Trevi. He had recently come out of an emotional relationship with someone who was HIV positive. He wanted to convey a message that love is love no matter what status, color of your skin, sexual orientation, or religion. The video had a powerful message, that it is possible to love someone that is positive, even though he is negative.[ citation needed ]

The video went viral and people wanted a copy of the song that accompanied the video. DJ Trevi agreed to release the song and donate the profits to an HIV awareness program. The song had an impact in the gay community, with people expressing either hate or love for the message.

Although the song was released and had moderate success, the former reality TV star has never played the song in his sets. [1]

The song peaked at number 9 in the international radio charts on Jango [2] in the week ending 4 October 2011.

In the United States, "Love" received exposure from its use in the documentary Gay Latino L.A., which was shown at universities and festivals.
