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. Click here for “Do I Have HIV?” posting guidelines. Click here for posting guidelines pertaining to all other POZ community 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.

  • Product advertisement—including links; banners; editorial content; and clinical trial, study or survey participation—is strictly prohibited by forums members unless permission has been secured from POZ.

At the risk of suffering a warning (or worse  ??? ) from the venerable Ann ..

May I just say 1 thing? Change what you wish. Wordsmith until you all achieve some consensus. But know that whatever is changed, the postings I read from the LTS forum lift me up every single day. You all give me hope and inspiration. I thank you each and every LTSer who has bravely faced the ravages of this horrid disease and have lived to tell about it.

Well, I won't warn you this  time, but please, don't post in any of the other threads in this forum. Thanks.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

My heart goes out to you Leatherman, for I to have buried two great loves and gone threw a lot of the same things you have.Being on disability, losing my home, no car or money to replace it and surviving two episodes of both PCP and shingles. So keep your chin up, we are the mighty and strong, and nothing shall take us down.

As for the welcoming thread, as the newest member on this sight, i loved it and felt like I had a place to come home to on the LTR forum.
