Random Thinking: 
We have come a long way in the fight against HIV/AIDS. But we are far from winning the battle. Back in 2010, reality hit hard, on one hand I found out I was POZ, SO SHOCKING, on the other hand, I realized how many people around me had little to none information and what little they knew, was not accurate. In fact I can count the times I was asked if you could catch it by simply shaking hands, TOTALLY SHOCKING and JAW DROPPING, but so truth. Before testing POZ, my prayer was to remain negative. As a POZ, my prayer is have life and for the statistics to stop going up. Yes, there are meds that help you live longer, but the emotional and physical toll is the same as it was when the epidemic first started. Nothing can prepare you for that experience, that is in fact an experience I don't want anyone else to live.
I said it once before, I am not looking for acceptance nor approval, I am simply opening the doors, for anyone who wants to learn. I am now part of the 47,129 people diagnosed with HIV in 2010. By the end of 2011, 58,000 adults and children were newly infected with HIV. I used to think it would not happen to me...do you?
