I was diagnosed in 2004 I also had full blown aids and it was Very hard I had lost my mother in 99 and then I lost both of my grandparents in 2001. I also lost my father in 2003 and then I found out that I had this disease. I had tried to kill myself but then I thought about my family. Now I am living a healthy life my viral load is undetectable and my cd4 is 503
Comment by: JJ Thu., Jul. 3, 2008 at 3:45 pm EDT I commend you all for having the courage to tell your testimonies. All of them were definitely heartfelt. I don't know what the world would do if we didn't hear your stories. We need them to make us stronger. I haven't been tested yet and I am scared to get tested but this has given me the strength that I need to face this because you all are living proof that having Hiv/Aids is not the end. Bless you all!

Comment by: Wanjiku Mwaura Sun., Jun. 15, 2008 at 5:29 am EDT Talking about HIV is, to me, the first HIV cure. When I was first told that I was positive and a counselor told me that he himself was positive for over 5 years, I felt that being HIV positive was not the end of my life and I still had a life to lead. I believe that stigma kills much faster the AIDS itself and I hope we will continue to reach out to as many HIV+ people especially in the developing country so that they may not die because of stigma. I happy that we have people who are will to give their testimonies and encourage others. Keep it up.

Comment by: Carla Fri., Jun. 6, 2008 at 11:02 pm EDT It is good to see so many people encouraged and educated hopefully. For the person with no coverage and not knowing where to start find out from your state government if your state has Ryan White Care-that's a beginning-A case worker can assist you with the rest. Life for you is not over-You are a PERSON living with a dis-ease and you can make it what you want it to be. Stay encouraged and keep going forward never look back! Challenges to life will always be there. It's not what you go through but how you get through. We can do it! Love to the fullest. Live like its your last day. Uplift someone else everyday!

Comment by: Michael Thu., Jun. 5, 2008 at 1:56 pm EDT I am so happy to see that there are so many people who are willing to share their stories openly like this. They can never imagine just how many people it will reach and how many their own story might just help someone who needs that little extra support right now.

Comment by: Alan Sat., May. 24, 2008 at 7:32 pm EDT Keep inspiring. My partner just found out that he is HIV + and it has been a roller coaster for us both. I am HIV -, but I am standing by my partner and will be with him forever. Watching these clips/stories it gives us both courage to move forward to live with this disease and to hopefully once day conquer it. Thank you all!
Comment by: For Dillion Tue., May. 20, 2008 at 7:35 am EDT you're a brave bright young man. I have gained much respect for those who fight HIV and discrimination.
Comment by: fan Mon., Apr. 14, 2008 at 11:30 pm EDT Great to hear other people's voices. As an isolated woman with HIV, it's powerful to virtually meet others! Keep up the good work!
Comment by: livewith it Sun., Apr. 13, 2008 at 3:11 pm EDT Thanks for this initiative to this type of lecture. I am HIv positive and since 2007 i discovered that i was HIV positive by simple test and got the results and since this instance i have learned to leave with this.
Comment by: O.K. Ben. Thu., Apr. 10, 2008 at 1:50 am EDT I have listned to the video clips and its realy encouraging to have people give their testimonies and feelings.Am sure thourgh this kind of publication we shall win over this virus.I work in the field of HIV/AIDS in my country,sensitizing the vulnerable people en leting them get tested. But its a big challenge because we still have alot of stigma in the communities where by when one tests positive the take time to believe their status and get on to the treatment. One starts on treatment when its now on wast stage of the disease.We still need to do alot of sensitization in our communities.This kind of messages from those living with HIV/AIDS would really help to fight stigma but unfortunately in the rural areas of my country people have no access to this kind of technology to see these video clips.But the stungle continues, we have to fight on and let everyone get the messages about the dangers of HIV/AIDS. Thanks
