Welcome


Welcome to the POZ Community Forums, a round-the-clock discussion area for people with HIV/AIDS, their friends/family/caregivers, and others concerned about HIV/AIDS.  Click on the links below to browse our various forums; scroll down for a glance at the most recent posts; or join in the conversation yourself by registering on the left side of this page.

Privacy Warning:  Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

  • The information shared in these forums, by moderators and members, is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between an individual and his/her own physician.

  • All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

  • Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators of these forums.

  • We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are true and correct to their knowledge.

PLEASE READ
« on: July 30, 2014, 12:04:48 am »
hi there, my name is brandon and ive visited this site in the past and have read amazing stories throughout the years but i never made an account, i have had a couple of scares that made me cling to this website and for a whole year after a one time exposure i wouldnt get tested because i felt in my heart i had hiv.. after reading everyones stories for some time i was finally encouraged to test, and my results came back negative, but through this site i feel like im apart of you all and i pray all the time for a cure.. u may not know it but im sure there are thousands of people who visit this site and read your stories without even establishing accounts... u guys empower so many people its amazing... anyway the real reason im here is because i was on facebook and seen an article that made me smile and think of everyone from this site... it was from a research lab in philadelphia and scientist did a form of surgery on the infected cells of hiv and the results showed the extinction of hiv in the cells, i would like for you all to take a look at it when you get a chance and keep hope because we are almost there....

Hi Brandon . I moved your thread into the only forum that HIV negative people are allowed to post in for lack of a better fit so please keep your comments in this one thread .

Congrats on your negative HIV status .
