Aids is still a stigma out there, once you tell someone you are hiv positive, people turn their back on you, so I don't tell nobody anymore. HIV positive 23 years heb C and looking good.

Overheard in the Women's Forum
"I recently met a guy who is negative. I did tell him about my status and he decided to kiss me anyway (we didn't go further than that). But a day later, he called and said that he actually had a mouth ulcer that time when we kissed and he was very worried. Asked if he can get the virus from me that way. For that moment, I felt so insulted and yet I felt so bad. It was my first time having a contact with a "negative" guy."
