I need to send this to my grandmother who is going to vote Yes against this thing. While I live in AZ I waited too long to switch over my voting to AZ. I want to vote in this election and I didn’t want to miss the chance so I left it the way it is. While I can’t vote no on my own states prop against Gays getting married I sure can be vocal against it and Prop 8. Thanks for posting this.

I do know what you are going through, except that after I heard my partners doctors talk loudly amongst their group that they were pretty sure the HIV caused his congestive heart failure and here’s what we are going to tell them we can do (the “them” was me and his parents standing/sitting not 8 ft from where they were huddled by the door). When they came to talk to us I mentioned that they needed to work on their whisper voice. But when I heard them mention HIV and I thought back to a few times here and there, I just got the feeling that I too was more than likely HIV+ as well. Back then it took two weeks to get your results. I went to get mine with a Dunkin’ donuts, Chocolate creme filled donut waiting for me in the car. The lady delivered the news way to solemn, which I almost chuckled at. It was just weird that I seemed to know before I really knew for sure.
What pains me is that Chuck, seemed to know he most likely had an STD but didn’t pass that tidbit on to you (Hmm wrong set of words because he did pass it on. I wonder if perhaps he passed the other as well.) That was very wrong!
I’ve been positive since June 1994, hit the Big A around end of year 2001 when I ended up in the hospital. Lots of up and downs since then. Glad there are better meds than when I first started taking them. If you have question or just want to chat (email, phone, IM) just let me know. My email is pnehem@cox.net, Yahoo is peter_nehem.
Take care!

Wow man! What a truly courageous man you are. Thanks.
Too often I forget how hard it must be on HIV+ people in my life.

J,
I just wanted so say that I’m sorry to hear about this! I couldn’t even imagine what you are going through! If I can do anything for you, even though I’m on the other side of the country, please let me know! And I know that this is probably not going to help, but everything does happen for a reason…

Here I sit crying at work. I think you need to see if Mac will go have coffee with you. Just to help you get over this hump!
