I want to direct this especially to the youngsters.... I got hiv i my search for acceptance and yearning to fit in somewhwere. I was 30 yrs old at the time. what i want you to know is , one eve. of feeling like ya fit in is not worth it!! if you feel like a loner now, this only makes for more rejection... Im a 21 year survivor.. , the dealing with meds, doctors, caseworkers, nurses, etc... fear of meds not being available, the cost moneywise, to your self esteem are devastating..... I m saying this to you cuz I care . dont do it!
Any Questions?

tom, so sorry. But those are good words to live by. Especially if fitting in and following an NT life means being foolish or careless.

Good wisdom and warning. Thank you, tom.

It must have been hard surviving with HIV/AIDS for that amount of time. Congrats to you.
I know it must be hard to fit in, but WrongPlanet is just the place for you.

Pull up a seat by the fire and put your feet up. I think you will feel comfortable here.
