I am a born again little monster. I am 51 and my diva has always been Deborah Harry of Blondie. At 66 she is still touring and recording. But, when Lady Gaga had her HBO special "Live from Madison Square Garden", I decided to watch to see why the younger generation had gone gaga for Gaga. I was immediately drawn in by her positive, loud and proud affirmation of GLBT rights among her fans. But when the concert ended with "Born This Way", I had a new theme for all the reasons the author describes. The next day, I bought all her albums and started downloading to my iPhone every version of Born This Way I could find. I had never thought of how this anthem is HIV+ resonsible until the author quoted the lyric about respect and regret could be a call for HIV education and social responsibility. The author has found another reason for me to love this song. He found more depth and meaning than I had. So through his insight and reporting on Lady Gaga's HIV activism, I have more reason to love this anthem. So, with respect to Deborah Harry (whom Lady Gaga loves), I am proud to say that I too am a little monster.

Rolling my eyes...

This is a bit of a stretch Trenton. We didn't all get this disease because we were self-loathing or stupid. I for one simply made a freaking mistake. Until society comes to understand that mistakes happen, everyone makes them and sometimes they have worse consequences than others, we won't be able to hold our heads high amongst any group. Our infections don't have to be the results of profound emotional failings.

I wasn't a fan of Lady GaGa until I read this and now that I know she is a power to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS I will listen to her more to hear her message. I am HIV positive since 2002 by my husband and I wish I had someone back then speaking out for all positive people cause no one wants HIV/AIDS.

After reading this article and these rediculous lyrics I dislike Lady GaGa to a whole new level. I am HIV+ because I made a serious mistake, I didn't use protection. Not because I was embarrased of my sexuality or who I am. And even though being postive has opened up a whole different world for me I still love myself and only hope that pathetic lyrics like these do not end up in mainstream music. My only other question is really Lady GaGa do you have any experience with these topics. Because it seems like to me the only issue for you lately is dealing with the redicule of your rediculous attention hungry attire.

I LOVE the song & I love myself, I even love someone who is HIV poz, and I still Love capital H-I-M! I respect myself enough to forgive H-I-M(and myself) for unknowingly passing HIV to me. There are as many diffrent ways people get infected with HIV as there are different ways to love someone. Respect & Love others, for each of us has a unique story and perspective of living positive. Peace
