Hi, I hope your doing well and keeping your spirits up! I think your a very strong , and brave guy. You inspire me. I'm really glad to see your reaching out, and not letting this knock you down. Life is not over after HIV! Take your medication, be strong, and keep your head up, and you will be fine! Ill keep you in my prayers.
The one thing that I want I to no is that I can trust God. He is a God of love. He his only son to die for , me and everyone.we all bones n our closet. Aids doesn't discriminate. make him the centre of it life. There is no heart, no pain that God can not heal. God can renew your spirit and give I faith but, most importantly he can give I salvation. Stay strong!
I hope you're doing well, keep your great attitude, I imagine there's probably lots of ups and downs, but God loves you as much as any of his other children.
Hey, i watched your first and second video and it really touched me. im still sortof crying now and i felt the same way when i found out that my uncle (homosexual as well) had hiv. however, i think youre an awesome person and if we were friends id always be there for you no matter what. i just think youre an awesome person and anyone who doesnt agree can fuck off. and its true, you really dont know who you fall in love with when you let your emotions take over first..
AIDS is not a real disease. Do some research. It's the drugs they pump you with that kills you. HIV/AIDS is not a real virus. Look at MJ. The man who created HIV Mr. Gallo couldn't even answer some of the hardest questions asked by scientists. It's a lie. There is no cure because there is no disease.
Hmm my boyfriend. Has been POZ for the past 5 years (He contracted it before he knew me) we are careful and don't ever do anything "stupid" I love him more because he told me before anything other than kissing happened! I'm so sorry that you didn't have that sort of man in your life because you seem so sweet I'm very sorry this happened to you!
part 3 ~ (moving along) While I was under anesthesia, I died twice, saw the light both times & gone to heaven once, I found my calling... Teach people...Teach about HIV facts & transmission...I'll get into this story at a later time...So Dude, You are going to be just fine, You keep up what your doing. Take your meds, there is no reson you can't lead a productive life Sexy...I'll just call you Sexy, since I don't know your name....OK SEXY...I would Love to talk to you one day. Gregorio'
part 2 ~ On September 21, 1989. I was living in Chicago at the time, went to the bar one brisk fall evening. I closed the bar, left with this guy I just meet that night. The next morning he said, here's my Doctor's Business Card~I have Full Blown Aids! He left my apartment, I stood there in shock for 10 minutes. I took 2 weeks off of work, I ran from Library to Library & Doctors Office to Doctors office. Never read so much in such a short piriod. As I still do to this day.
Hay Dude ~ Listen up Babe' You Are On The Right THINKING PATH! Staying Positive, Thinking like you are. I had a positive friend, who's thinking was, "poor me", "poor me", "I'm not taking those pills", "I'm gonna die any way". He died in 1 year later. This was 20 years ago, I've been positive 21 years, no opportunistic infections & always been non-detectable. I have a full lifel, by the way you are Sexy! So I have a similar story on how I contracted HIV.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm an RN working on testing and helping people to learn their diagnosis in the most positive way, and your video is helpful - though I wish I could bottle your attitude in this video and give it to people!
Hey I just want to say you're incredibly brave to have posted something this personal especially when its a subject often viewed as tabboo. Not only that but the fact you've not removed this video. For years people have been able to see this video and learn, to know they're not alone and know they'll be OK even when faced with such uncertainity. You've opened yourself up to the world and in doing so you've been able to help others, I'm sure of it. Keep strong and beautiful xxx
I didn't make out whether of not your X told you BEFORE or after being intimate, but if it was after (undetectable or not- doesn't matter) you could have (I don't know if you still can, and it may not be in your character anyhow) actually had him legally investigated, arrested, and you could have pressed charges. It's actually literally illegal for an HIV+ person who KNOWS they are to engage in unprotected sex with anyone they have not told (aka not being honest about) their status to.
@werty5386 Are you one of those incredibly lost, brainwashed, low capacity, low life christians or something? When your life-crisis hits (because karma is going to surprise you- it often does) good luck getting the support that you more than likely be desperate for. Nah, actually bad luck. You deserve it for being you- an asshole.
I think its great that you have the courage to talk about this openly and hopefully it will be a source of strength for others going through the same thing. But i just want to say this in case anyone is reading. It only takes 1 time. You don't need to sleep with a million people to get it. You only need to sleep with 1. So make sure you're safe, and make sure you know the people you're in a relationship with before you decide to do something that could potentially end your life, or shorten it.
You are a brave, brave man for making this video. You are like a modern day Freddie Mecury, he had AIDS and he was Gay, too. I give a big blessing to you. May God be with you through this hard time for you.
Well... You can't say you didn't know about Aids can you? I mean it's only been around and shoved in all our faces for the last 25 years! Did you get it from a dirty toilet seat?
Just found this because I'm doing a load of HIV research for a qualification and as a result, although I know plenty having been really conscious about it...so many teens know nothing about HIV.
I think you're incredibly brave to put something like this out in public and I wish you all the best.
I love you Bryan. Thank you. I cried, I laughed a little. I thought a lot. It isn't easy finding out, it's even harder trying to pick-up and move on from it.
You brought me alot of comfort during a really hard time for me.
You are soooo brave,and I can`t belive that there are positiv people and good person like you! Every hater is IDIOT,because thay can`t recognize your honnest! And if you`re gey,so what?! Homosexual have right to feel.love and be loved,too! And many of them are sooo better people than you haters,and heartless idiots! I just want to ask you how are you now? Are you ok? Kisses <3
You are so sweet. Thank you for posting this because it is very brave and giving. i too suffer from an immune problem, and I am not brave enough to blog about it or talk about it anymore, so when I saw your video, I was very grateful to you for sharing. You are so sweet and beautiful. My prayers are with you. My cousin has HIV and he has been well for many years; in fact, he's doing great, so keep strong. lots of love to you.
Yes you are correct..Being gay is not the only way but i can't help hating these people cause they fucking parade it everywhere they go and we just get fed up with ..Stop the fucking cry baby drama..You made your bed so just fucking lie in it..Your problems are a joke compared too other people and children and what they are going through!
oh wow thank you so much for sharing the story and it must be hard to not be bitter with the person that infected you. stay strong there is more strength and beauty in you than you can ever comprehend.
I dont care how someone contracts HIV-AIDS if it came from gay or hetro unprotected sex or unsafe IV drug use practices. no one deserves to get sick and die. as far as im concerned ignorance and hate are an illness..
I hope one day you get a soul.How would you act if someone you loved became infected with HIV or family member came out and said they were gay would you wish death on them.I feel sorry for someone who lives with as much hate inside as you do I can only hope that be removed from your heart one day..
I will NEVER trust anyone again. I'm so DONE with the gay life style. I'm so fucking hurt. I feel so damn stupid. I wish I would have given up the gay lifestyle before. People tried to warn me but I would not listen. Now I may have some disease that could cause my mother and my family so much pain. I feel so guilty for hurting them. They don't even know that I was in a gay relationship. I fucked up and I really hope that God will give me another chance.
Hi BryBryVaughn, I accidentally stumbled upon your video. I'd just like to say how incredibly brave you are for sharing your story! Your video was so incredibly moving and I wish you all the best! (Thumbs up from me)!
I hope you are feeling better. I am a nursing student and doing an assignment on HIV. I was watching all the reverse transcriptease videos and I thought no, I want to see someone real. You are real and your story is real. I want to work with HIV patients at the end of my degree so it is great to hear how this diagnosis has affected you. Would you like to help me tell your story to my class?
okay i'll be completely honest with you i been always homophobic its true what people say "people are afraid of what they DON'T know" i'm muslim and ever since 9/11 i have been through rough times as well and i would always say to myself people are afraid of what they don't know n now i think i should take my own advice you are a wonderful person and today you showed me a whole new other side of the gay community you are a human too and we all have our differences and and my heart goes out to u
@HeebaNura What do 9/11 and ''HIV'' have in common? US military. No, not conspiracy theory. NIH and CDC are military institutions responsible for relabelliing 29 diseases ''AIDS'' by changing the definition. watch?v=_p-ttLfkZHQ
This is a good video, that so many young queens should watch. So many of the younger generation take chances, not thinking it will happen to them. When I was your age, it was an automatic death sentence up until I was almost thirty. It was a scary time, and it's still scary... but not hopeless by any means. Keep yourself educated, and good luck, sweetie.
I truelly admire how brave you are by posting a video about yourself! You have guts MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU HEALTHY FOR AS LONG AS YOU DESIRE =)

im so sorry what happened to you. main problem of people is that those hiv positive peole sometimes they dont tell their HIV status. so in order to protect ownself,we must use condom all time during sextual contacts.BE STRONG!
PLEASE, I beg & pray of you to NOT fall prey to the evil HIV & so-called AID$ Industry & their evil cohorts, the PharMafia, FDA & especially the criminal who started the entire HIV $CAM 26 longest years ago ~ Robert Gallo.
HIV & Hep-C have NEVER to date, ever been isolated in any human being. The world has been lied to!
Watch my HIV playlist & visit some of the websites listed.
They are culling mostly Black folk & gay males & we have to band together to expose the creeps.
U seem another NICE gay guy with HIV, it is a really big shame. I suppose alot of straight guys do not talk about it as much on youtube. I can really understand gay men from watching your videos, just how sensitive you are, and their is like a female side to some of you. I know we all have a chance of getting HIV. I have chronic Lyme disease and it is hard to except/worry of future but looking at U guys helps me to see that time heals and that life moves on and we learn to move on with life x
I'm confused....in the first video you said you felt violated becuase he didnt tell you he had hiv, which is illegal, and you should call the cops, its against the law to have sex with someone without informing them of your hiv status if you know youre positive; however in this video you said he told you he had an untedectable hiv viral load, did you have unprotected sex with him after he told you he had undetectable hiv?
hey mate. When you think about the drugs that are available today that can make you live a normal life like anyone else, compared to just a decade or so ago. Imagine what they'll be like a decade from now. Also thanks for making all these videos. They're really good :)
Hey man. I know this is an old video, but someone just sent it to me. I want to just let you know how very brave and strong this was for you to put this up on youtube. YOU ROCK for being so open and brave.
Plus! you do not had an AIDS diagnosis. you have an HIV diagnosis, I can't take people making alsways the same mistake, aidsteens, they have NO AIDS they have HIV! if B is cause by A then A is not the same of B, man!
Striper991, one day I heard, If you got nothing nice to say then say nothing. you don't need that vocabulary, plus whay you are mad for? I don't get it.
Anyway Brian, Is is very nice to share this with people. Do you know about Dr Duesberg? google him.
I hope you still not in love with that other guy love is messed up thing and clearly at this time when u posted dis u was still in luv with him. Luv is a messed up thing & sometimes ppl can do really bad things & u will still luv them. I hope to god that u've seen the light & ad the wanker arrested for attempted murder or summin. If he did it 2 u he will do it 2 some1 else so ppl just want every1 2 feel there pain or pretend dat nothings wrong when they world has changed. ur a great person
For everyone, If it would make you feel better and you live in Cali you could review California's "Willful Exposure" Law. I'm not too sure about what good it will do after the fact but this is the legal stuff that would compliment this comment. I'm really sorry Bry Bry and I feel for you man.
Bryan, You come across as a very warm, intelligent and gentle young man. It is these characteristics which are obviously acting as a barrier between the individual who infected you and his inevitable prosecution. I wouldnt even begin to understand how you feel about this entire situation or your feelings towards that person, but he knowingly infected you with HIV. I apologise for renewing this reality, but I feel for you and fear for the other people he could potentially infect. Report him.
I wish you all the strength, courage and love to face each new day and live it to the fullest. Telling your story will empower you and educated others, you can make a big contribution to teenagers especially. Thank you for sharing your story.
I always get tested hun ima single parent. A guy had the nerve ta ask me y im so bent on gettin tested i must be a out there. I had to let him go b4 it even started cause he told me he didnt believe in usin protection well I told him he aint believe in me. Thanx great video!!!
your story touched me, bryan. i'm seriously tearing up. it is beyond me how something so horrible could happen to such a great guy. god bless you, i hope you're doing well.
If I were in this situation, I would call on GOD!!! I wouldn't want to go through something like this without him. I don't agree with a lot of the lifestyles that are going on today. However, none of us should be calling others names, it doesn't help anyone at all. Everyone will make their own choices how they wish to live their lives and will have to bear the consequences. Everyone counts. Please don't be judgmental, none of us are perfect, even if we think we are. Only GOD can judge!!!
that was a terrible thing to say to someone who is brave enough to be out there and educating others. are you an expert ? I know ppl + for years and take care of thmseleves and they don't "cough of blood, ect". You should take your comment back Mr. Trixter
It just shows, you never know - if you casn feel tired all of a sudden with an undectable viral load.... people need to get tested and take care of themselves. Like you are. Take care
My heart goes out to everyone who is HIV positive - For those of who are not, I think the philosophy is to not do things that would make "testing" required. Although given plenty of opportunities, Ive never had unsafe sex and never will. A healthy life is more important than unsafe sex, because without life there can be no sex. So play safe so you can play often. If it's too late, be safe and stay healthy - I have a friend who has been HIV positive for 10 years and he's still healthy.
I don't know how ppl in society equate being gay with lacking strength or courage, your strength at such a young age is unimaginable to me man....i will pray for you, God Bless and Keep you.
That's such an ignorant way to be. I know that i'm being stupid by not finding out but I already know that I will freak if the results are pos........msn i'm so fucking scared. I might just be a hypochondriac but, man i really don't know.
I shouldn't worry.....but I have slept with alot of girls unprotected over the years....I have a problem with it....anyhow,the doctor told me that I shouldn't worry that it was probably iodine poisoning or something. that he would call me when the results came in....His secretary called like a week later and informed me on my voice mail that the results were in. I am so frightened that I won't call them back...I told my ex, and she said that if i had it, they would persist in calling me but?
Damn dude, i'm not gay and i really feel bad for you.....i don't know how you have the strength to deal with this and continue to live ur life.....I have been having rashes that the doctors can't diagnose....I don't have any other symptoms....I was given a steroid to prevent swelling and I have been on it off and on for like the last two years...never any sickly symptoms but, i got tested like two months ago. I went back to get my results, and they said that they didn't have them....and that
HIV/AIDS is not the same as it was 20 years ago. Twenty years ago HIV/AIDS was basically an automatic death sentence. Nowadays, you are more likely to die from old age rather than HIV, but that doesn't make it okay. No one wants HIV/AIDS. I am thankful you made a video blog about this. I found your video while searching for info on HIV/AIDS because I'm doing a research project on it for school. I honestly think you're going to be okay. Like you said, focus on the positives. Good luck! :)
ansubchaudry, youa re terrible. Who would say such a thing!?!?!?!
You nkwow aht through all that, you are staying strong. I am very suprised and I hope things work out. keep fighting! :)
As to you ansubchaudry, WOULD YOU SAY THE SAME TO A PERSON WHO HAD A BABY AND THEN IT DIED THE NEXT DAY?!?!?!?!? BECUASE IF YOU DO TO THIS PERSON, I WOULDN'T BE SUPRISED IF YOU WOULD!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD ARE THE ONES WHO DESERVE TO DIE, NOT THE ONES THAT ARE TAUNTED AND PUT DOWN UNTIL THEY DIE.
I can tell just by watching this video that you are a good person. You don't deserve this, but then again who does. All I can say is that I admire your ability to stay positive under such circumstances, and i'm sure you'll be rewarded in some way. Take care man, and the best of wishes to you.
Aaaw you seem like such a sweet guy, your friends can be lucky! There is so much life and light in you, and you have so much to give, you will. You're in my prayers. LOVE
Couple of questions. You mentioned a screening test, and then some blood work.
Have you been officially diagnosed HIV+? Usually that requires a positive screen, and one or two confirmatory tests (there are dozens of KINDS of HIV tests, usually we will use two different kinds of tests testing for different viral fragments, or DNA).
Do not confuse screening tests with diagnostic tests.
If really +, then pursue treatment. Sooner the better.
My story is similar to yours, but the way I dealt with it was not so great, with out support having HIV is a long and frightening path to have to walk alone. Stay strong man
I can barely believe that you´re talking about your diagnosis with such a positive spirit.
I may be wrong, but I do believe that you might be one of those gifted people who actually manage to get a truly happy life, No-Matter-What. And science is helping now faster than ever before. :)
Never apologize for taking a moment and speaking your thoughts.... you need this right now and you do it as much as you need and we will be here to listen.
Dude, thanks for sharing. You're a real nice guy - I can relate 100 per cent to what you're going through right now, but just try to ride it out. Looking forward to your next vlog...
hope your doing ok :( all the best from australia :) xx

I hope one day you get a soul.How would you act if someone you loved became infected with HIV or family member came out and said they were gay would you wish death on them.I feel sorry for someone who lives with as much hate inside as you do I can only hope that be removed from your heart one day..

I will NEVER trust anyone again. I'm so DONE with the gay life style. I'm so fucking hurt. I feel so damn stupid. I wish I would have given up the gay lifestyle before. People tried to warn me but I would not listen. Now I may have some disease that could cause my mother and my family so much pain. I feel so guilty for hurting them. They don't even know that I was in a gay relationship. I fucked up and I really hope that God will give me another chance.

I hope you are feeling better. I am a nursing student and doing an assignment on HIV. I was watching all the reverse transcriptease videos and I thought no, I want to see someone real. You are real and your story is real. I want to work with HIV patients at the end of my degree so it is great to hear how this diagnosis has affected you. Would you like to help me tell your story to my class?

@HeebaNura What do 9/11 and ''HIV'' have in common? US military. No, not conspiracy theory. NIH and CDC are military institutions responsible for relabelliing 29 diseases ''AIDS'' by changing the definition. watch?v=_p-ttLfkZHQ

This is a good video, that so many young queens should watch. So many of the younger generation take chances, not thinking it will happen to them. When I was your age, it was an automatic death sentence up until I was almost thirty. It was a scary time, and it's still scary... but not hopeless by any means. Keep yourself educated, and good luck, sweetie.

U seem another NICE gay guy with HIV, it is a really big shame. I suppose alot of straight guys do not talk about it as much on youtube. I can really understand gay men from watching your videos, just how sensitive you are, and their is like a female side to some of you. I know we all have a chance of getting HIV. I have chronic Lyme disease and it is hard to except/worry of future but looking at U guys helps me to see that time heals and that life moves on and we learn to move on with life x

I'm confused....in the first video you said you felt violated becuase he didnt tell you he had hiv, which is illegal, and you should call the cops, its against the law to have sex with someone without informing them of your hiv status if you know youre positive; however in this video you said he told you he had an untedectable hiv viral load, did you have unprotected sex with him after he told you he had undetectable hiv?

For everyone, If it would make you feel better and you live in Cali you could review California's "Willful Exposure" Law. I'm not too sure about what good it will do after the fact but this is the legal stuff that would compliment this comment. I'm really sorry Bry Bry and I feel for you man.
kkr203 2 years ago
Bryan, You come across as a very warm, intelligent and gentle young man. It is these characteristics which are obviously acting as a barrier between the individual who infected you and his inevitable prosecution. I wouldnt even begin to understand how you feel about this entire situation or your feelings towards that person, but he knowingly infected you with HIV. I apologise for renewing this reality, but I feel for you and fear for the other people he could potentially infect. Report him.

However, none of us should be calling others names, it doesn't help anyone at all. Everyone will make their own choices how they wish to live their lives and will have to bear the consequences. Everyone counts. Please don't be judgmental, none of us are perfect, even if we think we are. Only GOD can judge!!!

tallderektoronto 2 years ago
My heart goes out to everyone who is HIV positive - For those of who are not, I think the philosophy is to not do things that would make "testing" required. Although given plenty of opportunities, Ive never had unsafe sex and never will. A healthy life is more important than unsafe sex, because without life there can be no sex. So play safe so you can play often. If it's too late, be safe and stay healthy - I have a friend who has been HIV positive for 10 years and he's still healthy.

I shouldn't worry.....but I have slept with alot of girls unprotected over the years....I have a problem with it....anyhow,the doctor told me that I shouldn't worry that it was probably iodine poisoning or something. that he would call me when the results came in....His secretary called like a week later and informed me on my voice mail that the results were in. I am so frightened that I won't call them back...I told my ex, and she said that if i had it, they would persist in calling me but?

HIV/AIDS is not the same as it was 20 years ago. Twenty years ago HIV/AIDS was basically an automatic death sentence. Nowadays, you are more likely to die from old age rather than HIV, but that doesn't make it okay. No one wants HIV/AIDS. I am thankful you made a video blog about this. I found your video while searching for info on HIV/AIDS because I'm doing a research project on it for school. I honestly think you're going to be okay. Like you said, focus on the positives. Good luck! :)

Couple of questions. You mentioned a screening test, and then some blood work.
Have you been officially diagnosed HIV+? Usually that requires a positive screen, and one or two confirmatory tests (there are dozens of KINDS of HIV tests, usually we will use two different kinds of tests testing for different viral fragments, or DNA).
Do not confuse screening tests with diagnostic tests.
If really +, then pursue treatment. Sooner the better.
