I too have HIV, and feel the same way, by letting people know that I'm HIV, allows me to live, and too live life to the fullest, I'm not proud of having HIV, but I live with it, and make sure that I take my med, each and every day. When I meet that person, if they have HIV, or not I will be telling them that I have it, and if by any chance they reject me its OK, because I can live, and live life, knowing that, even though I have it, I know that I've done the right thing for them and my self.
Thomas I agree you with you 100% as my intentions is never to talk down to anyone. I sometimes write in the lens of giving information to someone newly diagnosed which is a different conversation than someone who has had it for years. But I hear you and thanks for not only reading but also feedback!
As a survivor of over 25 years you have n=many good things but remember talk to us not at us as most heath care workers do for they do not walk in our shoes

Hmm food for thought. i think i am partially in same position. been living with hiv for the past 7yrs and not on medication or sick except the usual fever. apart from that i am ok. the danger is at times i tell myself i am not positive but deep inside me, i know i am. I have try the disclosure thing it didn’t work for me. Now, I only open to people who I am very sure are poz. This really scared me.
