Hi Peter,
The welcome sticky similiar to the one in the Living with HIV forum, would be nice here as well. The one that provides links to the lessons and general posting guidelines.

At the same time, hopefully there aren't a lot of posts here.

This is a good forum.. but how do you define "just tested".. a day, a week, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months?
-
i'd define it as anyone who feels they are newly diagnosed... it's more a personal description than anything. That may be somebody who just got their results or somebody who has known for some time, but not really come out of the hiv 'closet'.
No time limits, no requirements... can somebody who has been poz for years post in this forum? Hell yah!
As a suggestion, perhaps it would be prudent to preen the 'living with' forum and move some of the 'newly diagnosed' threads here. (of course with proper notation to indicate that it isn't being moved for any 'bad' reason') I know i'd be scared as hell to post in an empty forum.
I just suggest that because some might be afraid to post in an 'empty' forum. I'm sure ann will be along shortly to add her welcome thread to this forum.

I, for one, will probably steer some people I know this way. While I kinda think of these forums as my personal refuge, I don't want to be selfish.
Also, there are people here whom some can relate to better than this old fossil.
One is very young, pregnant and just found out she is positive. I don't know if she will try this out or not, but its worth a shot.
HUGS,
Mark

Offshore,
You should start a new thread. There's a button at the top of the main "I Just Tested" forum page.
Welcome to the forums, by the way!

I'll do a Welcome Thread for this forum, as soon as I can.

the content navigation box will need updating and possibly some other links throughout the site. I know you'll get to it when able but just a reminder.

Thanks, Bailey!
