  • WTH is the "HIV" community ?

  • This "stigma" is pretty bad but the way the HIV community treats itself is pretty bad too.

  • What's funny is that those with HIV/AIDS and those who work in HIV/AIDS facilities are not really very nice, sincere, humble or comforting. The way testing is currently conducted is designed to invoke fear in the person who is being tested. The way that it is done is not calming for those who are on the verge of breakdown. Many come into get tested, get a positive result and are never heard from again. People go home scared and watch crazy videos about HIV being fake.

  • Fear is a powerful drug, however love and compassion are even stronger.

  • this is amazeing.... thanks david...

  • get tested so that if u test positive u can be discriminated in the following wonderful ways:

    -be banned from entering the military

    -banned from entering many major foreign countries

    -have ur name address and social security number sent off to permanent state records which can never be removed so that u may be prosecuted if u ever spread it

    -have your clinic or hospital staff know ur status and warn all the other staff to double glove before entering ur room

    -have your blood donations refused
