Sr. Dinah Might, If You Ask Her Right
My most heartfelt congratulations to Ross for completing this hike and making history! Way to go, Ross! Sr. Dinah Might
I think the statements made & the basic premise of the first paragraph are absurdly presumptive! Is an HIV test required to make this trip? To assume that no other HIV man or woman has accomplished this task because they didn't advertise their status or appear in POZ magazine is insulting to all the members of the POZ community! I participated in Gay Games at least 3 times while HIV POZ, winning my competition twice. I may have been the first person to accomplish this, how would anyone know?
Ross Hayduk is an amazing man and a great example of what sheer determination can achieve. I am honored that Ross chooses to live here in SF and share his genuinely generous spirit with the rest of us.
Simply an inspiring hike Ross. And now a Bare Chest Calendar Man. That is called "walkig the walk". I like the idea of transcending your struggles by finding ways to helping others. You deeserve the recognition. Derrick

I truly admire you for your bravery and selflessness that you betray. I often wish that I could do something extraordinary to support the HIV and Aids stricken communities. I was introduced to crystal meth at the age of 21,and struggled with getting clean for 12 or so years I also contracted HIV because of the drugs and the effects it had on me. I am also Bi-polar so caution has to be taken to stay on track with all three types of disease. Its a constant juggle. Addiction, HIV,Behavioral health
