World AIDS Day December 1, 2014

As I sit here thinking about another year coming close to an end with World AIDS DAY knocking on our door, I can help but think how blessed I have been the past 6 years of my life.

I know my journey has not been as long and tiresome as the many who have endured the AIDS epidemic now for 30 plus years. I have so much respect for those who have endured PROMISE after PROMISE, HOPE after HOPE of a CURE for this HORRIFIC DIESEASE. I know that for so many of the wonderful people I have met online through social media (Dab Garner, Shelby Welchel, Maria Mejia, Jeremy Scott Hobbs, Timothy Ray Brown, Bob Bowers, Kevin Maloney) and the list goes on, the journey living with HIV/AIDS has not been a pleasant experience. These wonderful people along with so many others have fought for years not only to live, but they have fought for our rights to have the medical care that we receive here in AMERICA. Without people like these individuals fighting government, making statements and teaching others about the medical needs of those affected by HIV/AIDS we could not continue to enjoy getting the medical care needed to fight.

I have learned in the past 6 years being Positive that you can NOT make it on YOUR own. WE all need each other. We all need someone who “HAS BEEN THERE”, to help us understand the why’s and how’s when it comes to dealing with a DISEASE like HIV/AIDS. I have been so blessed and honored to get to know the people who “HAVE BEEN THERE”… Those people are LOVING and CARING and WANT to SHARE!! Those people want others to LISTEN and take NOTE so they DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME THINGS.

If I would have LISTENED and HEEDED the WORDS of the GREAT PEOPLE I have met in the last 6 years ~ BEFORE I BECAME HIV+ ~ I WOULD NOT BE HIV+!!!!!!

The message

 ~ AS SIMPLE AS IT CAN BE ~

~~

IF YOU RESPECT YOURSELF

PROTECT YOURSELF

PRACTICE SAFER SEX!!!

~~

It can be told in many languages but it all boils down to those simple words. If you care enough about yourself, you will protect yourself from the spread of HIV/AIDS.

~YES~

 ~ SEX is NATURAL~

 ~ SEX is FUN~

~ Unprotected SEX CAN = HIV/AIDS ~

HARSH BUT TRUE!!!

HIV/AIDS is NOT FUN!!!

Popping pills everyday that make you sick, that are highly toxic, and can have adverse side effects on your body is NO WAY to spend the rest of your life. ASK ME ~ I KNOW!! ASK ANYONE who is HIV+ and they will tell you the same. The PILL LOAD only increases the LONGER you live with HIV/AIDS. They do NOT tell you that in the “CUTE” little T.V. Commercials!! ASK A SURVIVOR ~ THEY WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH!!

HIV/AIDS SUCKS!!!!

~ SO my point this “WORLD AIDS DAY” ~

RESPECT YOURSELF

~~

PROTECT YOURSELF

~~

PRACTICE SAFER SEX

We can put an END to HIV/AIDS – IT will take everyone doing their part to PRACTICE SAFER SEX until this DISEASE is wiped out!!!

God Bless you all,
