We Have to Fight!

Submitted on Oct 12, 2017 by  MariaHIVMejia

You know I feel that in life we have to fight! I am an instinctual fighter by nature. "I can't help it," I hate excuses!! How can you ask me to fight for you and your life, and I ask you to help me help you by sharing a video about the situation that you are living in your country and you tell me no because of taboo. God damn it!! I’m fucking tired of this self-stigma and societies’ stigma on #HIV!!! It’s a freaking human condition!! My answer to that is to follow the steps of Act Up NY with inspirations of mine like Peter Staley!!! They didn’t accept death!!! In fact they fought to the death!! Threw the ashes of their loved ones in the white house and chained themselves to it!!! If you want a change and you are already dying YOU need to FIGHT to live at any cost!! I’ll help, but you must help yourself and not expect me to go to battle alone! Silence = Death
