Kay,

You are most welcome to use this website and read POZ magazine. All we ask is that you restrict your posting to the forum where I moved your thread to (Someone I Care About Has HIV) and the Living With HIV and Off Topic forums.

The Long Term Survivor forum is only for people who are hiv positive themselves and have been for many years.

We have plenty of members here who have friends or loved ones who are hiv positive, so you're not alone. Please do keep posting!

Hugs,
Ann

Hello Kay,

As Ann Stated, you are more than welcome on this site. I don't believe you have offended anyone. If you would llike to continue the discussion on the other thread you had started in regards to your cousin, please do !! That is plenty that you can learn from this site.

It's great that you made the step to come here to inform yourself about HIV after you found out about your cousin, so no worries, you're welcome to post, ask questions, and maybe one day you will invite them to this site too!

Make yourself comfy,

Kay,

Please dont leave I am not positive and I have found this site one of the best support systems yet. My hubby is postitive and even though you may not be going through the same thing I am it is still hard and you will need support also. So please just stick with it and know that there are people here that care about you not your status and I know that everyone will embrass you like they have me.
