Thank you Noah. You add a fresh perspective to this dillema we all face called life. I often catch myself hating my life for getting HIV when I was just about 40, but then I also realize that there are those who have faced it sooner in life, like you did. May the sun always shine on your blessed soul and find you always warm and happy amongst family and friends. Thanks for giving me hope.

My beautiful boy. We are so very proud of you. You are growing up so quickly and have become a fine young man. Twelve years ago, we could never have imagined that you would be doing so well now, even though it was our fondest wish. Your kindness and genuine consideration for others is something we could all learn from. Your mother would be so proud of the person you have become. Kisses and hugs from your family.

Hi Noah. I find your story very inspiring, and I am amazed at the insite of someone "only 15". I'm 55, and while I am fortunate to be HIV-neg, someone I love is not as fortunate. He was diagnosed HIV-pos in 1/05, and I know his outlook regarding his future weighs heavy on his thoughts. Perhaps your story, and attitude will give him inspirational hope as well. Good luck to you. Karen

I smile when I see kids in the same situation as I seem to be more hopeful of their existance. Stories like this prove that you still only limit yourself..the changing world doesn't limit you. Thanks for writing Noah!!

Noah, you are such an inspiration. When I was first diagnosed I thought my life and that of my unborn was over. Like you I met some wonderful people who helped along the way. Six years later I have a healthy child who is the light of my life. Your parents must be so proud!!
