Justin's HIV Journal: A Pozitive Union Justin B Smith & Philip B Terry Elope

When I found out I was HIV positive I felt that I would never be wanted physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. 3 years ago I met a man the way that a lot of you have met men, at a bar. I noticed his smile, his swagger, and his sexiness. I didnt know what to do with myself, except I knew I had to be honest with him about a part of me that I knew I couldnt keep secret, my HIV status.


Being HIV positive a lot of us have low self esteem about if we will ever be wanted. Im here to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There WILL BE someone for you, even if you arent HIV positive.




I have truly found someone that loves my unconditionally. Through all my trial and tribulations he has been there to help me through the rough waters we call life. Philip asked me to marry him on Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend of 2009. When he asked I didnt know what to say, so I looked inside my heart and open my mouth and joyously said, Yes.




Ever since then weve had disagreements like most couples but it never took away from the love that I have and will always have for him. This man has breathed life into me, my heart, my soul and my mind. When I didnt want to be loved; he opened my heart, when I didnt want to have a spiritual awakening; he opened my soul and when I didnt want to go to school; he opened my mind, when I didnt want to love.


I can honestly say that all I want is for him to be happy and that makes me happy to be with him. Being HIV positive has nothing to do with who you love. It might change how you love but love will always be there and will be there much longer than you and I. Love conquers all, even HIV.
I love you Philip, thank you for doing me the honor of asking me to marry you. For eternity and the life after I am forever yours.


Love Always,


Justin B Smith

Mr. Silly Butt
