HI EVERYONE
« on: September 22, 2006, 03:12:38 pm »
I am new to this site I knew about it but never took the time join before today.
I am living with HIV for eight years now. At first when I found out I had contracted the virus it was hard for me but as time went by it got easier.

I now work as outreach worker and also do counselor & testing.

I try to help as much people as I can from being a statistic especially teenagers who thinks they are invisible.

Hi Everyone!

Sorry......can the moderators move this post to Living with HIV for me.
