Just wanted to say Thank you
« on: August 17, 2007, 12:28:54 pm »
I was jut thinking that in life, we do not take the time to say "Thanks". I wanted to do that here. It's nice to know there are other like me. Out there. Somewhere. That know how tough it is to be gay, HIV+, and in the middle of a world that hates us for being queers, and for having HIV+. And for being, in general

I'm glad your here too. So, what is it like living in Columbia with HIV? I have read some disturbing stories of some people in Mexico not getting antiretrovirals. & am curious about what life is like for people with HIV  in Latin America. I noticed you are on meds. Does the govermnet there have programs for hiv+ citizens or do you have private insurance?
