For some reason, every time I sit down to write my blog over the last couple weeks, I get very upset, emotionally and physically. I literally begin to feel sick to my stomach. My mind races of everything I want to say, but can’t seem to type. I...

You can iron the frown off your face, the heading is just as I intended it to be. My Fiancé gave me the same look when I asked him. Thank God for making him such a bad liar because I got my answer, not what I wanted to hear, but at least it was the...
In all honesty, I’ve not experienced much discrimination based upon my HIV status. That’s primarily because I don’t disclose to very many people. When I was diagnosed, my co-workers found out because I was told while I was at work. So I’ve had some...
I know that some of you have had difficulties in this area. All the people on this website are, or at least state that they are, HIV+. I am fortunate that I am not having to deal with this. Just letting you all know I have never personally used this...
I lost a friend last week; someone, like me, who battled HIV and other illnesses for a very long time. He was an amazing person who was there when you needed him. He never complained of his own ailments; he often asked, “What can I do to help you.”...

For the first time, I participated in an AIDS Walk. Honestly, it was a bit surreal. I thought I’d feel very nervous and uncomfortable, but it quite the opposite. I felt at ease. I felt accepted. For the first time since my diagnosis, I did not feel...
Spent time the last few days with girls I went to high school with. I had a great time. Most of them became successful people in business. Some became successful parents and some successful drinkers... I was so happy to hang out with them and get...
It's not a death sentence. EAT TO LIVE! No more stress, don't be afraid.
Today President Obama is releasing the long-anticipated National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). Why is this a big deal? Well, for several reasons. First, we've never had one! That's right, the United States has never had a national AIDS strategy of our...
99.5% of the time I am alright. Maybe even forgetting my so called “situation”. 0.1% I meet everyday when I take my medication. The 0.4% happens in rare occasions like last week. I woke up with a rash all over my body. My mind was racing...
