HIV+

If you haven't heard, yes. I am diagnosed positive with HIV. And as today marks the 27th Anniversary of its discovery, I would like to share this with you.

Having HIV is not like what it was in the past decade. People living with HIV/AIDS itself will understand. People without it are often encased in a stigma of uncertainty.

However, it's not about the human immunodeficiency virus I am talking about here.No, I don't have that so you can breathe again.</u> Think of HIV+ as this:

Health IS Valuable (Positive)

Current HIV/AIDS education has often most likely fallen onto alot of deaf ears. They've tried everything from print ads, tv slots, movies, flyers, and millions and millions of dollars spent on HIV/AIDS Awareness programs. How many percent of respondents actually give a fuck? (pun intended). Yet the number of people infected keeps rising and rising by the second.

Change your stigma. Stop your ignorance. If you don't have it, doesn't mean you won't. So you might as well believe that you ALREADY have HIV+ (of course, my version of it). THINK. RESPECT. PROTECT. Together we can end HIV prejudice. If you dare, tell the world you are indeed HIV+. Say it with me: HEALTH IS VALUABLE (POSITIVE). This is one HIV+ you wanna spread! And I dare you to do the same by doing a "Hi. My name is _______ & I am HIV+" journal.

What is world AIDs day?

World AIDS Day is an opportunity to be inspired to respect and protect the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those around us through knowledge, action and consideration.

Are HIV and AIDS the same?
No. When someone is described as living with HIV, they have the HIV virus in their body. A person is considered to have developed AIDS when the immune system is so weak it can no longer fight off a range of diseases with which it would normally cope.

My cousin is HIV positive, so far so good on the treatments...only major problem is he can't eat.
as in the meds make it so he doesn't really feel hungry, and when he forces himself to eat he gets sick, and unfortunately Wisconsin has yet to pull it's collective head(s) out of it's ass and legalize Weed for Med. purposes ...we are getting closer, thanks to the efforts of NORMAL and one Lady who moved to WI from a State that was Legal ...well she was arrested and had to fight them and She won! Woo Hoo WI admitted they couldn't take her legal perscription away from her so that gives us a Legal prescident, so we are Very Close, I'm just hoping it doesn't come too late for my Cousin. I will be One Pissy B*@! if he dies while waiting for the Law to Change. I'll also be Arrested for sure if something should happen to him. I will not play Nicely. I'm Bipolar I can claim Crazy LOLOL
