Okay. It was recently suggested to me by someone that I should start blogging, so here I am. So I figure that I should start with a little about myself and what brought this all about.
I am a 31yo HIV+ gay male. I didn't become positive by being a slut and no I'm not gonna go into how it came about. That's all water under the bridge. I moved beyond it years ago and do not feel the need to go back into again. What does get me going is the staggering amount of people out there who still to this day think and act as if anyone who is living with this disease should be treated as a leper.
I get so tired of hearing that I'm cute but I'm poz. Or someone will be talking with me and it would seem as if they are interested in me, then when the elephant in the room is pointed out they do a 180 and are suddenly very cold towards me. I don't get this. Are you that shallow or that stupid?
I know plenty of people who are mixed status relationships and are happy. And yes years later the negative partner is still negative. It's called safe sex. I'm sure if you think wayyyy back to junior high you will remember Sex Ed and all the talk about condoms and other safe sex practices to prevent pregnancy and the spread of disease. I myself back when I was still negative dated and was physical with a guy who was positive. And guess what? I was testing negative years after he and I broke it off.
Isn't that shocking?
I'm a homebody, so I tend to spend a decent amount of time on gay chat and personal sites looking for people to chat with, maybe make a friend or even find a date. Well not anymore. I have finally gotten to the point where I have become so sick of idiots giving me the same exact line that I have started deleting every single one of them. I over reading that same email over and over
Well I guess the person that suggested this to me got tired of listening to me complain to them about it and said I should put my thoughts and feelings about life up on here. So, here I am.
My plan is to not always complain. In truth, I enjoy my life. I am comfortable with who I am and what I stand for, as well as what I have to offer others being the person that I am. I just felt that I should open with the reason that I have started on this project. My plan is to just give a glimpse into my life and life as i see it. Sometimes it will be good and at other times bad. Then there will be times when you will read this thinking that I am totally insane and typing from a computer that I smuggled into my padded cell. But mainly you will see that I am a person, hopefully a person worth knowing.
