Jake Glaser on the Rachael Ray show Part One

[sarmadasco]

as women are seen as victims (unless she's a drug user) since she got it by having hetero sex, whereas gay men got it through gay sex. Ppl don't even try to hide their disdain. Even I do it to a degree and I have worked with HIV+ people since the late 80's. I'm sorry for him but he knows little about living w/hiv. He is wealthy and taken care of. I do admire him for doing what he does as he, too, is exposing himself to judgment. He does put a face to the illness, which is such a good thng.

First question asked when status is revealed, is 'how' infection happened. It is was a transfusion or a hemeophiliac issue, you can see sympathy in the eyes of those near. If it was transmitted sexually, only thing one can see is the "you play you pay" look. Yes, young Glaser has suffered, but his life is so inceribly different than 99.999% of those with illness, that he could never understand what your average poz male is going through. Gay men are judged harder than females. TBC....

This young man has suffered, losing mom and sister but he is also a miracle to be "+" and also have the gene that naturally and coinidentally can overtake the virus. The gene here is not common knowledge. So, now he comes forward to chat about it. Knowing what he knows makes his experience with HIV so different than most with virus. As far as we've come with HIV, stigma is still huge for most, whether people will admit it or not. "How" one became poz is huge factor in how one is treated. TBC...

I remember how the press covered Elizabeth while she was working in D.C. etc (60 minutes etc.) Elizabeth was amazing and just would not take no for an answer. I also read her book---- Elizabeth took her grief and changed lives. Amazing lady God Bless her and Ariel. Keep moving forward Jake, Elizabeth's legacy must continue to help those who need it.
