Haynes I saw your new image (slim and tight) in the west 4th street station just last week, and again seeing your image makes me proud and looking ever harder for the select places to come out as proudly as you have!

Baring your soul for the benefit of all; Thank you. Education and awareness are the only way to stop this. It's a daunting task helping people to take responsibility for their bodies and their choices, a most noble pursuit.

Thanks Gord for your comment and thoughtful use of Dr. Kings words – It is my hope that sharing my story will let others see that there is more than one way to LIVE a productive life – Including those living with HIV – I truly believe we must give to the self first but then we MUST think of others and do something pleasing in the eye of the God of your understanding and give back!

Thanks again and Love Yourself Enough to Protect Yourself

Thank you Mario for confirming that trusting myself two share myself is touching others. Each time I share an intimate experience that excites, educates, or enhances someone else, I feel JOY!

Thank you so much Haynes for the compliment. I think I need to be hired (Just kidding) but seriously on my Twitter and Facebook, my followers and friends are probably getting tired of me. I keep spreading the word about this site! I keep encouraging ppl to get tested and know their status. HIV is a serious deal and too many think "It can't happen to me"...so I am hoping with all my efforts, that at least ONE person will be affected positively....If no one else has been affected by www.hivstopswithme.org, you guys can say proudly that it affected Tia! I tell you EVERY single day I come on and reread the stories....I was just rereading Vivian's story and was crying....there is a stigma attached to the disease and especially where I grew up in that small tiny island...my goodness!! They treat it like it's a curse....I am also trying to tell my friends that AIDS is just a deficiency of the immune system and life is not over if anyone gets HIV...you guys are perfect examples!! I admire you guys sooo much, you don't even know! I won't preach anymore though...but I'll be on again tomorrow checking in. I just wanna thank the administrators for building and promoting this website!
