Thank you for your courage and inspiration. I have been HIV positive for over 20 years. The only ones who know are my partner of 20 years and my immediate family. I have always been scared to let anyone else know my status out of fear of being shunned. You have inspired me to tell my story. Maybe it might be able to help someone out there, who is scared and afraid of the consequences.

I admire what you did, as someone who is HIV positive and has been for 21 years and hasn’t told a single soul besides family and doctors, you are amazing. It’s still hard for me and honestly what you did I don’t think. I will ever have the courage to do so. But with that being said I really hope one day I can meet someone just like you. God bless hun. You are accepted!

Thank you Karl for doing something "stupid." Your openness makes it easier for the rest of us to be ourselves openly, too. Keep being you! Tom

I wonder why this sweet, sexy man isn't in a relationship with Bair? After all, Bair resembles a hot rugby player. Notice those legs? You won't find much better in the gay or poz communities. In any case, I hope this story inspires more public figures to come out as poz.

Feeling inspired, again thankfully, to keep strong and active with my work now poz for 30 years living here in NC working with North Carolina AIDS Action Network Board of Directors lobbying striving to improve the lives of folk living with HIV. Thank you Karl for reminding me of my worth and rights and the joys of living regardless of my status and peoples reactions! Keep doing silly things because therein lies the grace of our souls who know the purpose of our amazing journey here!
