I was infected from a blood transfusion given in the emergency room of a well known hospital in Florida in March 1981! This has been established as fact. I had salmonella food poisoning and was visited and interviewed by the state public health. I was on active duty! I tested positive in July of 1986. I continued to serve until November 1994 until I was forced to retire by Bill Clinton! The reason I have lived so long in relative good health except advanced age issue is I was infected only once.

I now have three kids a great home and a life I would not have thought I could have had.

Daughter and kept feeding her lies about Mr cheating on her! Needless to say that was when she stopped seeing me, (my ex gave me weekends to have her, up til that point), and then kept her from me!!

My daughter, and wife(from my male days, that I got a divorce. And I had a daughter, who was born 3 months before my diagnosis, wife told my daug
