I consider this an attack on the AIDS community as a whole and should not be tolerated.
Unless you are a doctor, you have absolutely no qualifications to say who should work and who shouldn't. Additionally, I have not been sexually active in the seven years I have had hiv and how dare anyone put me in a context with the people who ARE out spreading it around. AT Daniela Romo & Coinflip
Anyone that would comment indicating that EVERY person with hiv can work and is out infecting other people is seriously uneducated, ignorant, and a complete MORON. Last time I checked I am a good person with a sense of right and wrong, who has HIV, is NOT sexually active and have my individuality in-tact as well as my own set of circumstances surrounding my illness. HOW DARE YOU.
At Daniela Romo. Not all of us got HIV from having unprotected sex or using IV drugs. Nor we go spreading the disease. Be responsible with your comments. I would give ANYTHING to feel healthy again and go back to work and feel productive. "Your" tax dollars? I paid my taxes too, every year while I was able to work. I'm a single mom with a 10 y.o daughter that probably I will never see all grown up. Give thanks for your good health, Daniela. You've been blessed.
I was just diagnosed with AIDS. I haven't started treatment because I just got out of Intensive Care with Pneumocystic Pneumonia, Splenomegaly, Hepatic Hemangiomas and Hydronephrosis. Lots of pain on a daily basis. My CD4 is on 140. It's scary to know that they want to lower it down to 50. I'm on 140 and I'm dying. I was told to apply for disability but reading all this makes me even more scared. I have a 10 y/o daughter that I'll probably won't see grow up.
Honestly I think MOST HIV Poz people can work, a lot of them are hooking up for Unsafe sex in the internet, many want freebies for doing nothing and stay on gov paid housing and going to bath houses and we are paying for that? if they want free money go to the libraries or pick up trash and do some volunteer work to get your Gov-checks, STOP living off from our tax dollars and stop re infecting others. stop the bare back sex... wear a condom.
So they think that anyone with T-cells over 50 should go back to work... In this economy? Are they insane? Trying going back to work after being on disabilty with one medical problem after another and then convince someone to hire you after being on disability for 10 years... There are no jobs for healthy people now... Perfectly healthy people are going without work for y months, 9 months, over a year now... and still they keep looking...

I have been disable for over 10 yrs and to think that we all are sponging off the Govt is an insult to the AIDS community it took me a long time to make the decision of leaving the work force after working for a company for 25 yrs I lost my private long term ins due to their definition of disability after 10 yrs they claim that HIV is not the deadly disease that it was medical problem that they could see is obesity I try to inform that is from the side effects I just didn't have money to appeal
