I've been wanting to disclose my "statues", since i knew i was HIV (April 20030,but, my x-husband with his "ego", only allowed me to disclose it to his sister. I separated from him in May of 2008; told afew mutual friends and he decided "its' over", divorced in NOV of 2009 and now i SERIOUSLY WANT TO COME OUT. "i want to disclose that i'm HIV", AND THIS IS BECAUSE OF MAGIC JOHNSON; HE INSPIRED ME TO SO BADLY WANT TO DO SO!!".. With All the negativity that people have i think, it is my life and i didn't chose to get it, so I CARELESS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK OF ME. It is only me who knows the TRUETH THE REST DON'T MATTER TO ME ANYMORE... THANKS WAMBUIQUE.
I want to let you know how proud I am of your family! It takes courage to be open. I found out I had HIV when I was pregnant with my first child. I chose to keep him. He was born negative. I have had 4 children all negative praise God. My husband of 14 years is also negative. Only 4 people know about my status. My husband, 2 sisters and an aunt. I am so afraid of what people might think or that my children will be outcast even though they are negative. Even now in 2012 there are still so many ignorant people and most of them are in my family. So sad. But again I am extremely proud of your family. May God keep you and bless you.
Hi, I feel like such a coward. I lost my husband to Aids in 1990, and I am positive for 21 years now. 5 children and they are all healthy and fine. I have been blessed to not have ever had any infections or emergencies. I work everyday and provide for my family. I don't use medication because when I do, I just gain weight. The good Lord seen fit to preserve me and I go forth. But I don't think I am doing anything to help anyone else. which is a shame in it's self. I have had to go through such a long, long rode raising my family I thought the blessing was for me to have the strength and good health to care for my family, I now think that living in healthy silence doesn't give to anyone else. Which is what we all should do. You story has awaken in me the desire to do for someone other than silence. Your daughter gave me a renewed gratitude. She is strong, and your blessed to have her. Living in silence alone is just as bad as living in pain. Your family is blessed to have each other. Don' take that for granted. God Bless
Wow what a moving story. Im left at a loss for words which believe me isnt an easy thing to do,let me just say thank you to you and your daughter for having the bravery to disclose publicly like that. The more people are upfront about who they are the more general society will accept and not discriminate against people with HIV/AIDS. We have come along way since the days of Ryan White thank God but we still have along way to go and people like you and your family a doing much to see that we get there Peace and Love to you and your family.
wish you all the best.

I have a friend sitting in an Oregon State prison finishing up 20yrs of a 70yr sentance for non disclosure.. young 18yrts and made some really stupid choices back then... He currently has a Pardon application in front of the Govenor of Oregon asking for a full pardon or reduced sentam nce that woulk allow him to get out in time to obtain gainfull employment, pay his taxes, and become a contributing member in this country.. How many people can we get on here to say 70rys is too long and they should let him go and prove himsel a reformed man on the outside. ????? please coment and let him know how you feel
