Thu., Sep. 27, 2012 at 3:53 pm EDT Beautiful Video Blog Maria. You are a tiger. This is going to a small group I started. I want them to see it. Although I always forward TheBody.com to the group I want them to make sure they see your blogs. HIVpassions allows us to put active links on our profiles so I will put this on my profile a well. God bless you. I will send you something about eating only organic grown foods. I think you should see it and know about insecticides on crops. Also one more note! You look great!

Thu., Sep. 27, 2012 at 4:06 pm EDT Marley. There are women out there that want the same thing. In the past year I have looked at a lot of profiles of women that are as well living with a HIV+ status.. Believe me it is not the end of the world by any means. Just don't wait for the ship to come in but swim out to it. Bruce

Time to Show My Face and Take the Stigma Away  Maria T. Mejia I am a 37-year-old Colombian female who lives in Miami, Florida. I've been positive for 20 years. Although almost all my life I've been in long-term relationships with HIV-negative men, I am happily married to a woman who is wonderful and caring. We have been together almost three years and she is HIV negative. I have no children but we will look into having! I am an activist, a peer educator, a caregiver. I volunteered for the Red Cross in education for the Hispanic HIV community and also the American community. I was a pre- and post-test counselor. I have spoken in many conferences and done a lot of outreach in the community, especially in the schools for prevention and education. It is part of my everyday life to educate everyone I can on this subject. Being HIV positive is nothing to be ashamed about! We are strong women, and we will take away all the stigmas slowly but we have to open up.
