THANK YOU FOR YOUR SITE. Am 'Spence' aged 19yrs diagnosed with HIV last year September,here in Kenya,if you have the virus then you can easily be shunnd by others.So I live a life of pretence under my parents roof,neither of my family members know of my status since telling them is like telling the whole extended family.Telling a friend is like telling the society as they call it 'the damn virus' n many bad names that anyone would avoid being called.If only I'd find a confidant maybe things would change.

Chicago's young, poor, HIV+ minority patients live a world away from the ivory towers of Northwestern. How many of those patients have a stable home? How many live on the street? How many are using drugs and postituting themselves for an income? Was there a control group of young people in stable homes, attending school (or working meaningful jobs), and who were NOT putting themselves at risk for reinfection?
