Davis was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1999. Davis has used his platform as a comic book creator to educate and reduce stigma about the disease, speaking to high schools about people living with HIV. He worked with the Evergreen AIDS Foundation in Bellingham, Washington as a client services coordinator and events manager. In an interview with HIVPlusMag.com, Davis highlights his efforts to spread understanding about HIV and AIDS, “I want people to know that they do have options and choices--because at first you’re just trying to comprehend it all.” In regards to his social activism, Davis has stated that "the highlight of my career was tied to this book when I got to speak at Yale University about the Lost Raven graphic novel."
In 2019, Davis was married to Daniel Sene. The couple was walked down the aisle by pop-star Debbie Gibson.
