Number 3...social security disability is no longer available to those diagnosed with HIV. There are no "perks" for HIV poz people. The eligibility process for assistance programs also evaluate income level. If a person is homeless and in a place where it is difficult for them to maintain treatment they may receive assistance. It costs about $3500 a month to keep a person on meds...No, getting HIV is not a sound investment or economic strategy.
...and here I thought this was just largely an urban myth. You've been approached by people who want to be infected with HIV.
I believe bug chasers want to be infected because they want to "be cool" and "fit in" with their gay friends, some of whom may be HIV positive. That's what mass corporate culture does to a nation: it makes people so dependent on the peer group, so afraid of being different than others that they're willing to endure a slow, agonizing death (AIDS) to fit in.
Stay strong bro, your are an inspiration to all people with this disease. I have watched almost all of your videos. I dont have HIV and I'm not gay, but you get mad respect from me bro, I have been supporting the Ryan White foundation for a few years now and it is a very rewarding experience. You are the man!
Live life to the fullest now and forever. Educate people all over America. Make an awareness with nonprofits that help people with AIDS/HIV. Volunteer at hospitals, Work with others who are dying. Help those remember you and you remember them. Write a book or join up with HIV Singles. What ever you do..... Do it well. Tomorrow may never come for the rest of us. We are all on this earth together and we will all die on this earth together. Make a difference and stop hate. Thank you.
@cbarrett34 People like you are destroying society, intolerance is our nations biggest tragedy, take your ignorance else were, its disgusting dude. Who are you to judge another person like that?
Don't get me wrong. They aren't the only ones who make bad choices. I don't care if individuals make a bad choice, so as long as it doesn't affect me. I just don't feel that I should pay for it. Otherwise, we're rewarding bad behavior.
On the flipside, I think that the gov't does do enough to incentivize good behavior. I WOULD be willing to pay for that.
Okay.....for those of you saying HIV doesn't exist, please feel free to explain why people who find out at the last minute that they've been infected are dying.....and if HIV does not exist why don't you do everything possible to catch it and then come back and prove your findings.....
Btw dude look up Silver Sol it seems like a really good product to try out.
omg thats sick who wants that deaht disease Verry SICK..I hope all the people who has hiv NEVER ever do this cause if they would make that its the same to go and kill someone i think then you are a murder ....fucking stupid
I have only just recently discovered your videos Chris, and I'm hooked. Never seen someone as confident and down to earth as you are man, keep going ;) Looking forward to your future vids, and.......the 'scalp peel' will pass ;-D
wow for real people are really taking the real gift that God gave and are squandering it seriously I am saddened by this... anywho Chris we have missed you man I've watched all your videos and I say God bless you for your honesty and may all of your days be blessed in Jesus name!!! Youre quite funny too I am a negative woman and your videos have helped me to apprecate life in its totality keep making videos cause that is your calling to educate and uplift again God Bless you!!!
this is so crazy!!!!!! OMG i've heard about this but I cannot believe this is really going on in this world of ours. I mean to here it on a first hand account is just crazy. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront of youtube and creating a conversation about it.
some ppl r just sick....and $12 of foodstamps........the govt aint shit....bout time u buy some dame sandwichmeat,cheese and bread that shit gone......ummm ummm
@RBG02005 What do you mean why should the govt pay for ppls bad choices........What do being out of a job and needing assistance have anything to do with a bad choice.
But if you choose not to go to school and get an education AND choose not to learn a trade, then why should my taxes pay for you?
People make bad decisions all the time. The guy in this video tells you in so many words that he made a bad decision by being promiscuous. I've made bad choices, too, (we all do) but I don't expect someone else to foot the bill.
@RBG02005 Ok I understand where your coming from but at the same time he is out of a job at this time and needs assistance. My thing is why give him $12......you might as well tell him no b/c that isnt enough to get anything. Him making bad decisions is why he has HIV.......thats not the reason he needs assistance at the time. Everyone gets down on there luck at times.
You're right. It is useless to send him $12 dollars.
You're also right that people do fall on their luck sometimes. I think that all people do have a right to eat at least twice a day in America. I'm just not sure how to go about doing that.
I don't think it should be the government's job persay though.
@RBG02005 First off, My HIV has nothing to do with assistance! Secondly, Foodstamps are there for people who are in need of them! You don't know my life, so before you can make a statement, as if you the slightest idea of my life...please check yourself. Because you never know, one day you could be in the financial state that I am in! We all make poor decisions in life, and we all have consequences, I do not try to use my status as a crutch, nor do I cry because of foodstamps, I am STILL EATING!
As far as food stamps are concerned, each situation is different. Only in the rarest of cases should we award food stamps.
People wouldn't "need" foodstamps in most cases if they didn't make poor decisions (eg. have a baby out of wed lock, saved money, went to college on academic or athletic scholarship). Keep in mind I said most not all.
As the system is currently, we're rewarding bad behavior and not incentivizing good choices.
The fact remains that people make poor choices when they can't afford them.
Should something happen, do you have enough money to cover an exorbitant hospital bill related to your condition? If you could foot the bill all by yourself, then excellent. Taxpayers, however, shouldn't have to pay for that (except in extenuating circumstances) because HIV is an avoidable illness.
Same goes for overweight people that have strokes, smokers that refuse to
@RBG02005 Not everyone who is unemployed has made a poor choice! Some people have worked their asses off, and have been laid off from their jobs, and need assistance. Some people can not save, because their rate of pay does not allot them to save, not all people utilizing assistance are bums, or have made "poor choices" I truly hope that you don't have to experience bad times in your life, because there will be people using that same piss poor logic, that you are using.
I'll admit that a tear in the condom is an unfortunate circumstance. The only other precaution that you can take is knowing the status of your partner, which isn't always feasible, but keep in mind that I don't make blanket statements (ie. i never say/said "all, everyone, never, etc.).
The societal security net should be there for individuals who are in situations by no fault of their own. But you cannot tell me that most people that are on assistance aren't there because
Furthermore, you have to admit that you aren't the norm. Most people get HIV from having unprotected sex and injection drug usage.
Also, should I end up on hard times because of a poor choice, then no one should pay for me. I should work my way back up through any means necessary. That type of thinking requires a paradigm shift. As African Americans, we should've had that mentality in the 1980s. We can't afford to fail by poor choices. We just can't.
@RBG02005 Before you can claim to know my situation! Condoms are not always 100% I am LIVING proof of that! Contrary to what you may believe, I did not have unprotected sex, when contracting HIV, protection was used, but there was a tear in it....thanks! I also have stated before, in a previous video, that no one with HIV is a victim. Unless contracted in a forceful situation, now in reference to your "Taxpaying" statement, this country need the assistance.
big deal. having hiv is nothing to me. i probably dont even have it in my body anymore. i will never know because i don't go to doctors. i treat myself. i am the same weight i have always been. i never got any rashes, never felt sick, i don't throw up after i eat, there are so many cures out there. best advice to you is to save your money and get a uv sublingual hmr machine. and high powered bob beck magnetic pulsar and watch the doctors faces when you go in for a checkup. lol.
How can someone WANT HIV? Are these people living in a nightmare world? These people must not know what you really go through. Perks? Parties? I can't wrap my brain around that. Just as you can't and any sane person. I would just be too stunned to respond to any invitation. I can't even call it dumb because that goes WAY beyond that.
This is so damn sad. I heard about this when I took my test. The guy giving me one told me there were people trying to get infected to get government assistance and housing. Just sad! Really is. Love your stories
The world is coming to an end...
