what's ONE word that captures the state of HIV/AIDS to you?

[confidentIwillbeOK]

Yes, all the millions who have simply vanished, due to HIV, forever forgotten.

...ah...I thought you were talking about yourself.

Pozhope, I hope this works....I created a "Wordle" that visualizes all the words used in this post:

http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/1133956/%22One_Word%22_by_AMF_members

...I will test the link and if it doesn't work will attach a screen-print.

note: I pasted all the words into the "wordle" site that generates the image but can't guarantee they all made it into the final product.....I think they did but apologies if the generator dropped "your" word.

Today the word is "Explosive D" but that's because I've had this every fucking morning for the past 10 days, and just today figured out it was because I had the brilliant idea of using Xylitol in place of sugar so that I could peel off 5-8 lbs to appease my sense of vanity.  Unfortunately when I bought this I didn't realize that diarrhea is a common side effect, and I guess combined with Norvir it was triple the effect.

Philly, I figured that at some point someone would have to use "diarrhoea" as the word of the day

Question: What is ONE word that captures the essence of where HIV/AIDS needs to go or is today to YOU?

misunderstood (reason: stigma, fear, discrimination, recrimination, disrespect)

genes (reason: medical possibilities)

we all got some great words!     they are all so true.   Notice how much HIV still wares on us,  even though it is a treatable condition.   It sure doesn't seem that way the way it effects us all

[Rev. Moon]

Today: Indignity

[Miss Philicia]

today's word is: FAB.U.LOUS (because my diarrhea stopped enough to go see The September Issue!)

Yay! Hope it was great (and I loved the film adaptation of 'The Devil Wears Prada').

Successful!

because from life's perspective, this virus is incredibly successful at perpetuating its lineage

because that is what my meds are when keeping the virus under control. They are not perfect but if it wasn't for their success I would most probably be dead by now

because it is what we, people living with this virus, all are. By living one more day with this predicament

because it is what human beings will be one day when, like many times before, they will find a way to eliminate the virus from one's body

Hi all,

My vote is for FOREVER, today. Tomorrow it most likely will be something else.

I would also like to say I keep ALL of my friends, lovers, acquaintances and strangers known to have died of AIDS or any other disease or accident alive in my mind, memories, heart, soul or whatever you would like to perceive "it" as.

Good wishes to all,
Richard

Accountable

- I'm accountable for getting the disease
- I'm accountable for managing my disease
- I'm accountable for educating others about my disease
- I'm accountable for informing others (sexually) about my disease
- I'm accountable for my physical and mental well-being
- I'm accountable for not letting the disease define who I am and how it effects me

HUMAN (that are only ordinary people who commit mistakes of acquiring this disease)

HELP (to remind us to extend our hands to those who've been diagnosed recently and totally lost in space.)

FAITH (for believing that in my lifetime and those of the younger generations, the cure to completely eradicate the virus will be discovered and be made available to all infected without personal gains and injustice)
